(Big voice with reverb). DRUM…CORPS…. IN…. SPACE!
We would like to wish Troopers Alum & Artemis II Engineer Tice a successful launch today. At 6:24pm ET, humankind will launch further into space than anyone has ever gone before. For the first time since 1972, we will circle the dark side of the moon and return to Earth.
Paul Tice, a Troopers alumnus of the late 1970s, has been a steadfast supporter of the corps, especially in recent years, having been an active volunteer and serving on the board of directors.
It has been exciting anticipating the progress of this moment. Over the last few years, Paul kept our Executive Director up to speed. "Reviewing Artemis2 software test cases and listening to 2023Troop!! 👍🤠" Paul said back in the summer of 24.
Today is the day! We couldn't be prouder of our fellow Trooper!
