Our Chapter's quarterly activity, The AFA at NASA was an awesome event. It was held Friday afternoon on 22 June at the Johnson Space Center and featured Michael L. Coats, Director, Johnson Space Center as the guest speaker. The shuttle landed as he spoke. Michael is a retired Navy Captain and both he and his wife, the former Diane Eileen Carson of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, were Air Force brats. Mike served as pilot and later spacecraft commander aboard three Space Shuttle Discovery flights from 1984 to 1991. He took the Discovery on her maiden voyage. Michael recalled the historical significance of the shuttle program then detailed what it will take to get us from the Moon to Mars in a mesmerizing hour and a half of discussion and questions from the members.
