I had a great time with all the scientists that shared they're knowledge and enthusiasm including Kobie Boykins of the JPL.

The End of a good run...

Here we are for an on-set photo of the on camera talent for (plus the invaluable Kurt St. Amant the floor director) for the last broadcast of the JASON Project for the foreseeable future.  The program is being "retooled" after this and we'll just have to wait and see what form NatGeo brings it back in.  It's definitely been a great adventure, even though I've only been a part of the crew since the shoots up in Seward at the Sea Life Center (Miss you Sugar!)...  -S

The Final Frontier

I got a great tour of the "Clean Room" at the NASA facility in Greenbelt, Maryland.  This is where they do final assembly for things like repairs for the Hubble Telescope and the STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) Spacecraft.  Very cool to see this place up close.  Of course since this is they're last stop before heading out into space, it's important they leave without "a hair out of place" so to speak...  -S

She's REALLY out there man...

Here I am "chatting space" on the JASON broadcast set with Dr. Pam Clark from the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Dr. B!

One last shot with Dr. Bob Ballard who as far as JASON is concerned really started it all!!  But there is lots of exploring left to do both thru Immersion Presents as well as shepherding the NOAA Vessel Okeanos Explorer on it's mission to explore the unseen parts of the oceans.  -S
