Just a little side note, Virts is kinda known for his Vulcan salute from ISS when Leonard Nimoy passed away.

The talk is actually geared towards school kids; I would assume that some of the schools would plan a field trip. Great opportunity for homeschoolers as well!

We have tickets for the 6pm talk. We are really looking forward to it. The 10am talk is geared towards children, but, the 6pm is geared for adults.

Yeah.. We had a graduating class of something like 1500 people.. Took 7 hours. There was just no way I would know, much less remember, all the people from my graduating class. I couldn't tell you if I passed him in the hall one day.
