UPDATE: It worked! Here’s the latest:
It is official, Kayla won the contest and the title of NASA’s Greatest Fan! Thank you for all your votes. We don’t have all the details yet, but we’re off to (hopefully) see the shuttle launch!
Excited beyond words,
Jennifer

From Jennifer, a Global Spin reader and my teammate from Space Camp:
Since I am not a US citizen, I couldn’t enter a contest to win the title of ‘NASA’s greatest fan’ but my friend Kayla did, and she made it to the finals. The prize – a trip for two (her and I) to Florida to watch the space shuttle launch! You all know it’s my life-long dream to see a launch, so make it a reality and vote! Vote lots – the more votes the merrier, and there is no limit!
You heard her, folks. Vote early and often. Show the raw power of the Global Spin!
The site is a bit wonky to navigate, but you can watch any of the videos and then click “Vote for your favorite” to go to the voting ‘survey’. ‘Mars Mates Forever’ is the one with the photo of two flight-suit-clad adventurers looking defiantly skyward. It seems to allow you to vote as many times as you wish, so click it a couple dozen times for good measure.
Thank you Chris! You are the greatest! I think I have voted about a thousand time already. The polls close on Saturday 30 September so vote lots and vote often! Thank you everyone!
It was very easy to vote for Kayla’s video, especially after watching the rest of them. Chris, are you in the Space Camp photo? It’s hard to tell….. Good luck, Kayla and Jennifer!
