NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will visit with students in Tallahassee, Florida to discuss the future of space exploration at 2 p.m. EDT on Friday, Oct.1.

Nelson will meet with engineering students from Florida State University and Florida A&M University, as well as local middle school students, at the Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee, located at 200 S. Duval Street.

The event is open to media and Nelson will be available to answer questions from reporters afterward. To participate, media must RSVP by noon to Jackie McGuinness at jackie.mcguinness@nasa.gov.

I vowed from that day on to get his hands on as many tech products as possible. My approach to a review is to make it informative for the technofile while still making it understandable to everyone.
