In 2008 I attended Launch Pad and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. What is it?
Launch Pad is a free, NASA-funded workshop for established writers held in beautiful high-altitude Laramie, Wyoming. Launch Pad aims to provide a “crash course” for the attendees in modern astronomy science through guest lectures, and observation through the University of Wyoming’s professional telescopes.
I highly, highly, highly recommend this. Applications are open through March 31. Do not hesitate. Just apply. Now.
