Need someone to launch a rocket? Pilot your airplane? Fly to the moon? Explain Newton's First Law of Motion? Alex is your guy! Alex just graduated from Starbase and learned a ton. We went to his graduation and were able to catch him flying - sort of!

His call sign was "Dan Marino" and the fella next to him was "Obi Wan Kanobe". This is a new program that was established with a $300,000 grant from the DoD. There are 3 teachers and they are servicing the 5th graders of 7 districts. The home school is on base so they wisely scheduled the base schools during the cold and snowy months. I will say that it has been the highlight of January and February for Alex. Who knew that learning could be fun????
