I'm not saying that "Im not gonna make friends!", I'm simply saying that making friends is not my main reason for going. So in the long run, if I dont make any friends, I won't be sad about it. If I do make a friend or two, great! I'm just not holinf it as my #1 priority for going, thats a...

So, the bottom line is: If I sign up for the Pilot Track, I will get to either be Pilot or Commander on the shuttle at some point for sure, even if its just the 1 hour missions?

Thats my only concern: Never getting to actually fly the [darn] shuttle

Answers: #1: I understand fully that space flight is not the glamor (if you wanna call it that) presented in some movies. #2: Thats the #1 reason why I wanna go. #3 & 4: I don't really get along with other kids very well. I have always been the homeschooled kid who hangs out with older adults. S...

Yeah, but still, $1,000 is a lot of money to shell out for 6 days... I just hope it's worth the money thats my only concern.

"Extra Time"? You mean in the off season, you get "More time"? Hows this managed, programs are still 6 days long.

They better not tie me down to anything if I go... lol. As to these "Anomolies", it seems to me from what Im reading that the whole EDM is filled with nothing but these, which to me would get kind of boring and "Unreal" after a while... I mean, in real life, there isn't going to ...

I THINK , he was meaning to say: You shouldn't need to fix problems that arrise from Anomolies with duck tape. <<< I think thats what he was saying, if not, then I dunno... I am having a bit of trouble understanding where duck tape comes in myself... They must REALLY have some dussies if it takes du...

"but seriously, you have to PICK between the two sims u want to do in Nov?.. " No, they only do Pilot w/ scuba in November. The last day for Pilot where you train on the Mach 2 sims is August 6th. After August 6th, you can't do they Mach 2 sims in the pilot track. At least thats what I gat...

If I attend the 6 day ASA this year, will I be able to sign up for the adult ASA 8 day program next year? It says the 8 day program is for alumni of the Adult or Youth "5 day Program"...

Yes, next year I'll be 19.

According to there website, this is what the offer for ASA:





To me, it seems like Aug 6th is last date for Pilot without scuba.

I'm shooting for the August 6th Pilot track date... Since thats the last date they offer Pilot without scuba. Not that I have anything against scuba, I would just rather fly the sims at AC than scuba dive. I wonder if August 6th will be a really busy time? Its still summer, but late summer. I wont h...

"ssso at ASA you DO get to do the actual space ship cockpit sim? cansomeone list all the Sims u do in ASA? " Don't get me wrong, I never been to ASA or any space camp... But depends on which cockpit your talking about. According to the info packet Pilot track trainee's in ASA will get to f...

I fell in love with Piloting the shuttle after watching Armageddon and seeing the cool stuff Watts and Sharp got to do :lol: :lol: Flight Director would also be pretty cool, although I would prefer to be in the shuttle durring the EDM. Personally, instead of a mission the space station, they should ...

Id be happy being either one... Pilot or Commander. Both sound like cool position. But the thing I dont get is, is it a sure bet that you'll even get to be in the shuttle for the EDM, more less the Pilot or commander? How are these positions choosen. Is it just a team decision (which dont seem to fa...

I have another one for ya guys (and gals): I seen they offer a "Payment Plan" type thing, although they dont say what it is. Thing I don't understand is this: On the payment plan, do you have to have the tuition paid 100% before going to camp or does the payment plan allow you to go while ...

Hello all, I have been floating around these forums for a few weeks, so I decided to post some questions I got about ASA . Please bear with me as some of them may be pretty stupid, but I'd like to know 100% what I'm getting into before I shell out $1,049.00 to do it. #1: On the spacecamp website, wh...
