I have been commissioned by NASA to create and perform a story as they prepare to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I hope to capture some of NASA's vision, struggle and accomplishments. I'm currently in Washington D.C. beginning my research for the story. While in Washington D.C. I'll tour the Air and Space Museum, begin my interviews with astronauts, scientists and historians, and set up my NASA site visit schedule.

In May, I'll visit with and interview J.C. High Eagle, an Osage and Cherokee Native American, who worked for NASA as a Flight Mission Operations Engineer at NASA's Mission Control Center.
