NASA astronauts Mike Foreman (seated, left) and Greg Johnson (seated, right) enjoy the quiet before the storm as they prepare to sign autographs for the nationwide attendees of the Tom Joyner Family Reunion. They are seated in front of NASA’s Journey to Tomorrow trailer at reunion headquarters at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Fla. The reunion was hosted by nationally syndicated radio personality Tom Joyner during the extended Labor Day weekend Sept. 1-4. Besides offering attendees the opportunity to visit tourist attractions in the Orlando area, the reunion gave NASA education specialists an avenue to tout the benefits of math and scientific learning, as well as the many educational opportunities offered by the space agency.
