Explore Martian terrain from the driver's seat of a futuristic Martian rover! RED ROVER uses real NASA HiRISE satellite data and images in a game engine to create a simulator that lets you drive around and explore! It's a great opportunity for K-12 kids or students to see Mars up close and personal as guest speaker Alan Chan, the developer of Red Rover, takes us through each of the different areas of Mars available in this simulator

This inspiring talk is for those who wish they were born with wings, and/or enjoy short stories. Come fly with the speaker (Neil) as he relives his experiences as a high-time pilot with a knowledge of flight we all envy. Strap on the shoulder harness, tighten the seat belt-"CLEAR, Contact, "we can hear the roar of the engine as we taxi out -each story a new new exciting true adventure by a pilot who has been there !

Neil will talk about why he wrote the short story book. He will also talk about writing a second short story book and why he categorized them as “ Familographies “ - the purpose is to encourage students to start writing their true stories.
