MT astronomy Club is participating in a fundraiser with many other MT Athletics/Clubs for the sale of tee-shirts with the TOWNSHIP WIT Logo. Purchase with Astronomy in the drop-down menu to support MT Astronomy Club! ... Sincerely- Mr. Farina

A few shots from when I was last at Kennedy and Cape Canaveral in 2010. My amazing wife allowed this to be part of our Honeymoon! Have you ever been to Kennedy... or any other NASA location? Have you ever witnessed a Launch? What was your first memory of human spaceflight?
Join Mr. Farina LIVE to witness this upcoming historic event. The launch of these two astronauts from US soil on the FIRST ever commercial spacecraft. This truly is the Dawn of a New Space Age.
