E ndless Voyage Mission sees no end It all started with a new teacher ' s arrival at Magnet. This new teacher was Mr. Ab- biatti, and he had a special in- terest in the NASA program. He conveyed this interest to the students with a new pro¬ gram called the Endless Voy¬ age Mission. The program in- volved teleconferences and construction of the Neutral Buoyancy Exercises. The Neutral Buoyancy Ex¬ ercises required students to design and construet, under water, a skeletal framework similar to the one being used in the upcoming space sta- tion. Those involved worked in various teams: safety, div- ing, Communications, logis- tics, and video. They complet- ed their project in less than the alloted 4-hour time peri- od. This accomplishment at- tracted the attention of NASA officials. The students were com- mended for their project and DONT THREATEN ME WITH THAT. Deborah Harris, teacher in space runner-up, and Scott Caudle discuss the PVC piping used to build the space station in the neutral buoyancy exercise. 74 • MAKINCi THE MAKKS continuing the mission, to experience the final frontier told the more students that become involved in the math and Sciences the better off our country will be in future years. NASA also offered any assistance they could give both the students and teach- ers in their projects. This same group also vis- ited the Marshall Space Flight Center during spring break. Sr. Monica Viso said about the trip, It showed me that we didn ' t do such a rinky- dink job, that they do it, too. With endless publicity, the Endless Voyage Mission con¬ tinues with pians to build a simulator like the students saw in Alabama. This new project will involve Magnet students and students from various area schools and eventually students from oth- er countries. HOW DO YOU FIT IN THERE? At the NASA exhibit at the La. State Exhibit Museum, Scott Wilcox marvels at the awesomeness of the Saturn V rocket.
