As I understand it, Pathfinder is still roped off when one of the control surfaces (wood, of course) broke off and landed underneath, thankfully not hitting anyone. If something that high profile hasn't been fixed in so long, what hope does the AC dome have right now, especially when they just went ...

As I badly wanted to see the WW2 movie "Greyhound" I took advantage of the free week and risked the credit card info. I just deleted the membership yesterday. But after we watched that movie, which I liked, and the series, "The Morning Show," which I thought was well written, I then had to watch thi...

How can you condemn a railroad car, unless it's infected with black mold or something? You can strip it down to the metal and start over. I'm in RR preservation and have never heard of any RR equipment being condemned before. You can rebuild almost anything from just a few metal pieces...

yet there are a lot of alumni out there, too. How much would $1, $2, or even $5 from each of them raise?

You mean other than the ones who donated over $750,000 of this amount?
I'm pretty sure the tooth fairy sure didn't donate the other half...

Awfully close...

I never got to experience the motion sims, so its a non issue for me...

just curious, has anyone seen that type of nameplate before? I dont recognize the wings but the photo is too small for a good look.... DBWI36O7RVHVBHIZI4SZ2VHSTE.jpeg The nameplate, based on the shape of the lettering, I'd bet says VICE PRESIDENT and then his name in the row below. But those wings, ...

Yeah, you're right.
They promised to show the others. If they do, I think the winner will come as a surprise to some, once they see what that design beat out....

There was a contest for this event, this is what won:

I was one of the lucky ones who actually saw the film in theaters.

As was I.
God speed, Tish...

I know this is ancient thread, but I stumbled across this photo and had to put it here. I have never seen one like this before. It must be a really early one, predating the mission specialist wings.

Thank you for the link.
I did not get one of those, but I did order one of these:

I just deleted mine and uploaded it again.

Was yours one of the board avatars, or a custom, uploaded one?

I assume he uploaded his.
I uploaded mine and it also doesnt show...

I've heard they got rid of a lot of higher tenured people. Frankly, this is very common in Corporate America right now, forcing out the people with the higher salaries...

I, too, have been unimpressed with awardees of this reward that I have seen over the years. As for a list of those who have been awarded it, I really don't think they ever kept records of this kind of stuff. And as for the people awarded it, I went to a antique store near the old railroad station Mu...

I saw that when I first got listed, and though it's not terribly expensive, it's more than I do want to pay for one. I've only ever seen this one, and one for the Florida camp, show up on eBay. I nabbed the Florida one, a few years back.
Never have I seen a Huntsville one for sale anywhere.

I think it's probably a given thing, sadly, that nobody is going to be going this year... If there was ever a place where you would likely pick up some sort of disease, other than in a laboratory or hospital, it would be in the Sims at SC. How many of you have been told to be careful touching things...

It isn't free, you actually have to sign in with your credit card number under some sort of promotional deal to get into that service. I refuse to be involved in something like that.
That said, of course I was curious about the series, and I do find your insights very interesting.

Hotdog, congrats!
Sadly, since I first asked the question, anyone going to Space Camp anytime in the near future (or maybe even this year or beyond if things don't get much better) had become questionable.
Let's hope we can all get to planning for our next visit to SC soon enough!
