Re: Counseling Adults
I definitely had an issue with the person who was the counselor for our session (but definitely not for AC). The counselors at AC were much more relaxed and just were themselves. I think that is a very key thing. There are probably some intergenerational issues but basically I think that we all get ...

Re: Age
No one could accuse me of that! (Acting my age.) I think I act my shoe size. LOL! I'm still glad to see some of us kids are over 40. --des Rich has me beat too! I'm 51 but I always say, it doesn't matter how old you are as long as you refuse to act your age!! I feel younger every time I come home fr...

In space it would be a bit harder. But various astronauts have had cases of space sickness that were fairly difficult. They dealt with the 2-3 days of discomfort. If it were a serious form of ecoli or something it would be more difficult. But most food poisoning is more benign. MC isn't such an issu...

Yes, I am interested for sure!! I have been working on figuring which switches are which on the simulator. Some are not marked yet and areas don't have switches or complete ones. Most likely I will be working with this one next year. This would be a cool thing to have, and I would pay real money to ...

NOVA Science NOW had a whole segment on it Tuesday. Yep its scary. Of course then they mentioned all the ones we might not know about! The close approach (*current* forecasts say we miss it-- with a proviso that it doesn't go into what is called the keyhole, which is a area of space that would sling...

Of course, real psychotic episodes (which could happen in space), are much scarier and really quite a lot different. People don't really go nuts ala the movie version. Usually what happens is over time a person will grow increasingly paranoid, suspicious, remote, angry, and irritated over trivial th...

No no, I wasn't thinking the *kids* could use liquid nitrogen. I didn't even let them use dry ice. I did a demo (although it didn't work). (Dry ice with sand, corn syrup, ammonia, water,etc. makes a very good comet, except there was a hole in the plastic bag and the water dripped out leaving me no w...

Haha! Well I now have to come up with more stuff. I will be doing a little bit of stuff with physiology-- right up your alley I would guess. Some things I have done in the past are testing reaction time. I actually have a whole book (well practically) from NASA on the subject. Depending, I might wan...

There's an idea. I think my idea was to do something hard like little nuts and bolts. I don't know how much harder underwater will make this, but kids easily handled tiny objects with gloves. (I did a glove box. The kids examined rocks in a box. The main problem was righting a very small dropper bot...

Rich, duct tape is pretty essential regardless! OTOH, I won't have any time to wait for your experiments (wish I could!) as I pretty much have to do this in the next 2-3 weeks. (I have two sessions.) The thing about the simulated neutral buoyancy is that it doesn't matter about the depth. It could w...

Rich, you most likely have MANY more technical/engineering skills than I have (I have zero!). So basically things like this I do, I just follow some idea someone else has (unlike the Mars expedition, which was much more my idea). In the directions I read you take a light wrench (the directions recom...

Counselor Hotdog, I think you should go for it. I recall looking at the applications way back in, you know, 1871 or so. They weren't online of course. I couldn't think of how I could leave my cats all summer. And now i have another child (dog anyway). So the fewer hitches you have to Chattanooga the...
