Welcome to the Wiki for our NASA Mt. Everest Trek! We are very excited to bring you our experiences as we travel from the United States to hike to the base camp of Mt. Everest. Our group consists of 17 friends and family associated with Sabrina Singh (EVA flight controller for NASA/JSC) who is coordinating this trip. Our visit to Mt. Everest Base camp will roughly coincide with the summit bid by our friend and astronaut Scott Parazynski. For blogger information posted about our trip, please visit our Blog Site at http://nasaeveresttrek.blogspot.com/. You can also visit the OnOrbit/Everest blog at http://onorbit.com/Everest for more information on Scott's trip to the Summit.   

**Everyone on this trip is using personal funds and vacation time**

We will be posting our itinerary soon.  Travel begins April 25th and we expect to arrive back to the US on May 15.  Come back soon to see the details.

Of course, going to the Base Camp of Mt. Everest is no train ride.  Our group has been exercising appropriately to prepare for our trip in order to maximize our comfort during the trip.  To see what kind of things we have been doing for exercise see how we train like a Rocket Scientist.

If you have any comments for us, please leave us a comment.  In addition, if you have any questions for any of us, you can email nasaeveresttrek@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.  Of course, if it is during our trip, we might not be checking our email:)  See our Blog during that timeframe.
