Great class : Basics of Interplanetary Space Flight

[Jane Houston Jones]

My good friend Dave Doody  is teaching his awesome space class again at 
Art Center College of Design beginning May 14.  His class is really 
great and gives a good overview of everything from the environment in 
the solar system to reference systems to get around the solar system, on 
to gravity, spacecraft trajectories, flight missions and operations.  
Everyone is 6 degrees from a JPL flight mission.  You are either working 
on one, or you know someone on a mission or you'd like to work on one 
someday.  Dave's class is a great start for the enthusiast to the advocate!

Dave's class takes place on seven Thursday evenings beginning May 14.  
It's a great way for everyone to get a good overview about space 
flight:  You night see me there!
