The USS Magellan's Final Day. It Goes Down in Battle Against the Wreaking Machine. All That Remains is the Defiant Phoenix . Tomorrow it Will Make Its Last Stand. .

     May 7, 2020 was the Magellan's last stand against Time and Progress which move us forward into the future. What a fine ship it was as it voyaged through that universe of imagination so many of us craftily created over these many years.  With the Magellan went the Discovery Room. 
     We said a form of goodbye to the Magellan once before when it was remodeled into the ship many of you knew. This was my "Farewell" video to the Magellan at that time. 

 The Original Magellan's Last Mission




     My first mission as director of the Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center was on the Voyager. My Last Mission was on the Magellan; Friday, May 25, 2013.  The Children of Perikoi with my students - children from Central Elementary School 



Now a Short Farewell. The End of the Magellan.  The Mighty Ship Meets its End.
