Involvement in pre-launch briefings
can take one of three forms -- either as the master of ceremonies,
a presenter or a scriptwriter. The briefing is composed
of two twenty minute presentations -- one that focuses on
KSC as a wildlife refuge and also provides an overview of
Shuttle processing, followed by a second presentation that
highlights projected mission, science and crew activities.
David has been a regular presenter
for several years and also participants as a volunteer with
the KSC Speakers Bureau.
