They have been inspired, as their imaginations will never know boundaries, You all, truly are the pride of your profession. |

| Mr Daymond Grifka-- When this project was first introduced to you, you jumped in with both feet and ran with it. It was truly unfortunate that you had to leave before this project was finished.

| PROJECT STARSHINE DIRECTOR-----GIL MOORE----- Over the course of the years, we hope that this project will instill in the kids hard work, dedication , and the ability to see a project through from start to finish. Hopefully, one of the thousands of school kids that have worked on this project will be inspired to become a valued member of the Space Program, and maybe even a future astronaut. With many things in store for the American Space program ( and internationally ) during the next few decades. Our young will see this project for what it really is, a CHANCE to become one part of an intricate puzzle that has the potential to alter the science community for many generations. We, as your volunteer students, THANK YOU for the opportunity to become a part of history, both now and for many years to come. Hopefully, Well see you at the Cape |
