THE END... OR THE BEGINNING
For our students this is the end of the space school experience but they have been made very aware of the ongoing benefits of the programme and the contacts they have made in the space industry.
They have also made strong connections with each other and the graduation and departure were very emotional events for many.
Facebook is their preferred medium, only old people blog. And there is a huge buzz of activity as they "friend-up" each other and make plans for their next meeting.
You've seen most of these before: but it is a selection from the first day to the last and the captions may be helpful.
Thanks for reading!

TUESDAY
After our morning lecture on space medicine we grabbed a boxed lunch and drove to Galveston. At the University of Texas Medical Branch we participated in a videoconference, students gave brief presentations on their projects and mentors introduced themselves.

SUNDAY

Sunday was the Cultural and Food Fair, when all students bring a dish from their country and perform a talent item. Patrick delivered a haka to tumultuous applause, and India and John' s waiata were also well received, as was John's impromptu hongi workshop.
