Cadet Airman Daniel Cook won the Grand Prize in a nationwide essay contest sponsored by The History Channel. Cook, a 12-year-old member of the Gainesville Composite Squadron and homeschool student from Keystone Heights, addressed the question, "Which event in American space history do you think is most important and why?"
Cook wrote an essay, due one month from the contest announcement, explaining why Dr. Robert Goddard's invention of the liquid fueled rocket engine takes top honors in the history of space exploration. Along with two other Grand Prize winners, Cook earned himself and three guests a four day trip to Kennedy Space Center, including admission to the Astronaut Training Experience, travel, and lodging. Cook is very enthusiastic about everything related to aerospace and is the Cadet Assistant Aerospace Education Officer with the Gainesville squadron. The highly motivated Cadet Cook aspires to be an astronaut. |
