Because of where I live I have to participate in the commuter component of the program. I would get sent to one of about nine universities that are currently doing research for NASA. That's the biggest drawback, I wouldn't be home for the entire summer and I could possibly end up in LA by myself.

I would rather do the apprenticeship, but they only accept 400 out of about 1,000 applicants. Also, I'm supposed to be going back to camp with a friend I met last year.

If anyone wants the website for the apprenticeship it is: www.nasasharp.com

The application deadline for this year is Monday.

Good luck!!

I don't know if I'm staying an extra day yet. It depends on if I fly or drive. Also, my going back depends on if I am accepted for an 8-week apprenticeship with NASA through the NASA SHARP program. If I am accepted I won't be able to go back because I'll be gone. Thanks for making me feel welcome!

Hey everyone! I'm new to Hab1 anyone want to explain how all of this works and what's going on? Thanks! Also, did anyone go to ASA July 13-19, 2002 or is anyone going June 28-July 4, 2003?
