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.

This is the control software for the Phobos station sim at Camp, suggesting the Roadster's potential fate: http://www.schwartzster.com/images/forums/roadster_on_the_moon.jpg P.S. Careful when you talk to people from Martian moons. Those Phobotians are okay, but you don't want to get a Deimotion. :ro...

I believe he is the first living member of the Space Camp Hall of Fame to pass away.

Space exploration legend, creator of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, respected Camp lecturer, and member of the Space Camp Hall of Fame died yesterday:

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 ! People were intrigued by my little projector set up, which was fun: http://www.schwartzster.com/images/forums/hab1/eclipse/IMG_20170821_113710197-1000.jpg http://www.schwartzster.com/imag...

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 ...

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...

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...

I have fond memories of sims in there as well as the Shuttle to Tomorrow film. Glad they're at least planning on putting it to use!

​I learned a new phrase yesterday which describes a concept I had always understood (I suspect most of us do in some form or another) but never had a term for. "Normalization of deviance", is when an individual or group becomes accustomed to a deviation (breaking a rule, circumventing a pr...

We could have another Sprocket-themed episode of "Shipping Wars" on our hands http://www.uship.com/shipment/T38-Shuttle/486405778/ Already someone looking for a quote to ship a sign from the auction: http://www.uship.com/shipment/metal-sign-won-in-a-charity-auction--Spa/424639719/

3. I think they'll later regret getting rid of some of these signs. That large SC sign from the arch by Hab1 would look great mounted on the wall by the hall of fame displays! This. Yes. Kyle (my husband) suggested that the person who gets the big sign should put it back up where it belongs (at the...

Rocket Girl is the biography of chemist Mary Sherman Morgan. Morgan invented Hydyne, the fuel which propelled several Jupiter C and Juno I rockets and was instrumental in helping the U.S. catch up to the USSR at the beginning of the Space Race. The book is a work of creative nonfiction (i.e. made-u...

I'd list all of the things I want, but I would basically be everything! If only I could figure out a use for that sign…

Here's a fun story about a centenarian who is currently at Camp: http://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2015/07/space_camper_100.html

Photographers from Sharpshooter Imaging, the company which takes photos of museum visitors as they enter, took photos of us throughout the weekend. For $50 + tax they would mail a USB stick containing the photos of your family, including the green-screen photo from the museum entrance, and a few sto...

Over the weekend of Memorial Day I attende[img]d[/img] Space Camp Family Camp and I thought I'd write about it for anyone interested. I'd been looking forward to this trip since my daughter was born and I had a great time sharing my love of Camp with her. Also in my family were my brother-in-law and...

I uploaded my team tape from my first trip to Camp, in Florida in 1998, and thought I'd share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flby89539Nw&t=1

I have no idea what's up with the skipping countdown at the beginning, but it was part of the tape and not a transfer artifact.
