Our Downlink at the Discovery Center of Idaho went off yesterday without
a hitch. We actually were able to have the students communicate with
Barbara Morgan for almost 30 minutes. Barbara taught in McCall, a small
mountain town, for several years so it was very important to the people
here.
Our Education Director, Woody Sobey, did an awesome job with the
students.
Good luck to the other sites!
