NEWS from PROJECT NEURON... a NASA Quest project!

NEURON AT THE LAUNCH!
Linda comes to you live from the launch of STS-90

http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/neuron/events/launch

NASA-TV and reporters from all types of media will be receiving the VIP
treatment at Kennedy Space Center and reporting to you the glamorous side
of a special NASA's STS-90 shuttle launch on April 16. They'll wow you
with magnificent pictures as rockets fire up and Columbia ascends! It will
be thrilling!

The NeurOn project since its opening in September of 1997, has focused on
the people behind the scenes of this Neurolab flight. Participants have
gotten to know some of them through their bios, journals and online chats
at      http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/neuron/team
Do you ever wonder what's going on with these people during all this
excitement? That is the story NeurOn at the Launch will tell you.

April 7, Linda Conrad, NeurOn project manager will join the team in their
work (may even get to help run errands and such) to convey to classrooms
some of the excitement of the "worker bees." No, she won't miss the
launch! But will watch it from the place that the NeurOn team working
behind the scenes watches it rather than where the VIPs watch. The reports
will try to express to you what it's like for first timers, like Chris
Barreras or veterans, like BJ Navarro. There will be journals almost daily
placed online at: http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/neuron/events/launch

Then, be there live:
April 13, 14, 15 there will be live Webcasts over Learning Technologies
Channel and possibly one right after the launch to give you a taste of the
excitement. There will be a chat room set up for you to ask questions
before hand; questions Linda will try to get the answers for before she
reports to you live.
