A guest at the Tom Joyner Family Reunion talks with Brittani Sims, left, and Sheldon Lauderdale, both work in the Program Control and Integration Office of the Commercial Crew Program. They explained that the program is facilitating development of American commercial crew space transportation capability to achieve safe, reliable and cost-effective access to and from the International Space Station and low-Earth orbit.

The Tom Joyner Family Reunion is designed to present uplifting programs, entertainment and information about growing, diverse communities. An annual event of the nationally-syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, the many exhibits included NASA's participation focusing on encouraging young people to consider studies and careers in STEM -- science, technology, engineering and math. NASA's Education Division promoted the benefits of math and scientific learning along with career opportunities offered by the space agency. The activities took place at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, during the Labor Day weekend. Photo credit: NASA/Daniel Casper
