The National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, VA opened its doors to more than 2,000 girl scouts to explore 36 exhibits. Exhibits included hands-on activities and emphasized women's contributions to aeropace, science, and aviation. Activities included a using a satellite phone and walking on space shuttle, among many others. In addition, Dr. Thomas Jones, veteran astronaut of four space flights joined a videoconference call to answer the girls' questions. The entire day was a huge success, evident from one woman's comment, "It's very different from when I was aiglr. But today, being an astranaut isn't out of range." Stacia, an 8-year-old Brownie form Loudoun County summed up the day perfectly. "My favorite pat was leanring how to control a robot with a keyboard," she said. "But you know what was cool? Astronauts have badges for going into space and Girl Scouts have badges too!"
