Re: American Samoa Teacher of the Year faced discrimination on the way home from Camp
Im not a fan of the Huntsville airport. I'm surprised. Beyond the cost (unavoidable in a small airport), I find the airport to be excellent. I do agree entirely about there being multiple sides to a story and a general lack of airline "customer service". This being American Airlines in pa...

American Samoa Teacher of the Year faced discrimination on the way home from Camp
This doesn't refect well on Huntsville: "Suluai-Mahuka, a high school English teacher, wrote she departed Huntsville's U.S. Space & Rocket Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on a "joyous high." She and all state teachers of the year had been invited to the space camp th...

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.

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.
