It was free for a period of time, no credit card required, as media companies were offering content to entertain folks stuck at home during the pandemic.

"For All Mankind"
"For All Mankind" is a dramatic historical fiction series on Apple TV that imagines a world in which the USSR lands on the moon before the USA. It's currently free to watch. I just finished the second episode and my reaction is a solid "meh". I was excited by the totally unique c...

Re: Remake

Re: Space Camp makes the Science Channel
Incidentally, that's a great team photo! I love how the STA looks like it has a little grin.
Just got back from Family Camp and our team photo was in front of the LM mockup in the Davidson Center. I much would've preferred this one.

Oh, wow. We attended several times together and she was a really fun teammate.
We were friends on Facebook, but somehow I missed this when it happened. Thanks for posting it.

SAC Museum
I am in Omaha for work this week and today I had the chance to check out the Strategic Air Command Museum in nearby Ashland, NE. I was surprised by the number of NASA artifacts, so I thought I'd share. The museum is gorgeous. An Atlas mission stands guard outside (along with a few other missiles and...

I drove up to Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, TN. Experience totality for two and a half minutes. It was amazing !

Re: Looking for old teammates
I've thought of making some type of 'non-official Space Camp' Google document or file share of some sort for alumni to post their class information, dates, and anything they'd want to share (scans of mission patches, artwork, etc), or even their email address for those long lost teammates. Shortly ...

Re: The Mars Generation Movie
I'm excited for this movie. I'm assuming the USSRC will have some sort of release party, otherwise I may have to host a small gathering myself. Since it's being distributed directly by Netflix, I wouldn't be surprised if it has fewer geographical restrictions than some of their licensed content. I'l...

Re: Schollarship questions
I don't know how this affects the scholarship process, but when choosing a camp level I would consider the social implications over the academic ones. That is, would you rather be the oldest in your group or the youngest? My opinion is that you'll learn about the same either way, and can always lear...

Normalization of deviance
