Between now and May 11th, the center's Ask An Astronaut project will be promoted through its social media channels for community members of all ages to have the opportunity to send in questions they would like to ask Colonel Wilcutt about his career. A 30-year career that includes being a veteran of four space shuttle flights and currently serving as the Chief of Mission and Safety Assurance for NASA.
"We will choose ten questions and those ten individuals will be invited to a Microsoft Teams session to meet Colonel Wilcutt and ask their questions," said CLC Director Mellisa Duncan, who will moderate the session. The winners will be notified via email on May 13 and the Teams session will take place on May 18.
The session will be recorded and added to the center's Facebook page as one its Challenger Connections - outreach videos with special STEM projects to help kids relax and have fun during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"This project and Ask an Astronaut is our way of continuing to share what we do at the Challenger Center at Paducah and how exciting science, technology, engineering and math can be," said Duncan.
