Ken Fiscus has been an Earth and Space Science teacher in Albert Lea since 1991. Ken was one of 35 finalists of the 2000 teachers that applied for NASA's first class of Educator Astronauts. He underwent extensive physical and psychological testing. As a result of being a finalist for the Educator Astronaut program, he also got to participate in a ZeroG flight and experience weightlessness for about 8-1/2 minutes. He has a unique perspective of our country's space program and will share some of his experiences with the group. Ken's presentation will feature a significant amount of time for answering your questions.

He and his wife Kelli are the proud parents of two adopted children Rigel and Meridian (both names being related to astronomy).
