So, 2023.....?

To paraphrase Darth Vader, I find the lack of posts here to be disturbing.
Has anyone been to any of the programs at Space Camp or going this year?

Beavis and Butthead do Space Camp?

I heard an interview with the creator of this 90s TV staple, and he said the plot for the new, "Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe" was a judge forces Beavis and Butthead to go to to Space Camp, and instead they bumble into an actual shuttle mission. I wonder if they'll really call it sp...

Re: Rocket restorations

I'm just glad I took some shots of the it the last time I was there, as I should have realized then, that this was going to come soon enough.
The costs are staggering, though.
Beats me when the next time I'll be back to SC, but I don't know if it'll be back together by then...

Re: Level II trainee shirt in tie dye

I agree that it looks like it was tie dyed after the fact. shirt.jpg Otherwise, it'd likely been silkscreened with a base of white. I've also never seen any tie-dyed SC camper shirts. Besides, it's not very well done. I have a nice NASA 'meatball' t-shirt I found at Wal-Mart of all places and it was...

Re: AstroTrek Returns?

I really haven't paid much attention to any of this since the pandemic took hold and I knew it'd quite a while before I'd even think of coming back to SC (as the place was a pretty well known petri dish even before COVID). My 2018 advanced adult academy was such a disappointment. Here I am almost 4 ...

There's a full nose marked Endeavour that used to be on the training room floor. In 2018, it was in the astrotech building. It's different from the previously mentioned mobile Sim.

Re: Anyone going to the Adult Advanced Academy starting on 10/31?

I am quite familiar with the Shuttle Launch Experience at KSC. It is amazing, and I went on it two good friends from Space Camp, about a day before we hopped on a plane bound for Huntsville.

Re: Anyone going to the Adult Advanced Academy starting on 10/31?

So cool you got a callsign. Most don't their first time.
Is that you in the Endeavour hat? If so, can you post a good shot of the patches on your jacket?

Looks great, Mike. I love the look of the newer visitor center patches they use now. Here's mine, which has been modified in some way each time I've gone there, with the new nameplate. 59745.jpeg Just curious, how can you have a callsign if you haven't been to Space Camp yet?

Re: Flight Suits - How well do they fit?

Having worn flught suits several times for real aircraft,, I can tell you they're supposed to be worn over other clothes, but not like work coveralls.
A little baggy is just fine as there are gathers at the waist.
