One of the most serendipitous events that could ever take place during National Volunteer Week and the morning after Earth Day – our first ever Texas Master Naturalist in Space! Gulf Coast Chapter Member, Kjell Lindgren is a NASA Astronaut commanding the SpaceX Crew-4 shuttle launched Wednesday April 27th to the International Space Station. Kjell has offered a once in a lifetime experience for the Texas Master Naturalist Program! He’d like to ‘downlink’ with the Texas Master Naturalist Program in June, connect his work on the ISS to the service TMN’s provide and answer any general questions that his fellow naturalist volunteers have. The final times for this downlink may remain flexible based on mission priorities on the ISS.
