Fifty years ago today — May 1, 1959 — The “Beltsville Center” was renamed the Goddard Space Flight Center in honor of the first person to launch a liquid-propellant rocket, Dr. Robert Goddard.
Thirty years ago today marked the first time the Space Shuttle pathfinder configuration — using the Shuttle Enterprise — was assembled in the Vehicle Assembly Building and transported to Launch Complex 39A.

Finally, after the first week here’s the tally on my hunt for a literary agent:
- Agents queried: 9
- Rejections received: 4
No expressions of interest or offers of representation yet. I’m still researching other agents to query. Wish me luck!
