Re: Space Camp flight suit differences and details...

They may yet bring back an ASA patch if they decide to bring the program back, but with the Gumby figure instead of the STS, or maybe an Orion spacecraft. I plan to put an Alumni patch on my Camp satchel, along with a vintage Hab1 patch that p51 gave me. For future flightsuits, I'll always go with a...

Re: Weeklong Adult Space Camp

I don't think there's a direct link to the option, Lee. It comes up when you start the registration process and it appears as a clickable option button.

Re: Weeklong Adult Space Camp

They have this new buddy system where you associate yourself with a buddy code to be put on the same team. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. We'll see, I guess. If not Hoot, then any experienced astronaut would be cool, in my mind. I'm just hoping to learn more about the Shuttle cockpit.

Re: Weeklong Adult Space Camp

One big advantage of the Corporate route is choosing who's on the Team, meaning no strangers who don't, well, fit in. With an open ASA, you never know who will show up. I have to say that in the past I've been on open ASA Teams with members who were very hard to get along with. Also, with CSC sessio...

Re: Pamper pole area 51

One year, when Bojangles still ran the place, we were allowed to take a running jump off the tower. That's the way to do it, for sure.

I miss Bojangles, he was cool. Reminded me a lot of R. Lee Ermey.

Re: Pamper pole area 51

The first time I saw the Pamper Pole I said "You've gotta be kidding me!" As many do, even astronauts, I have an innate fear of heights. The first time was...one of the scariest things I've ever done. The wooden plate on the top was extra loose, and even though you're harnessed, it takes e...

All of the above, plus perhaps on bricks for the STA Phase II, if they decide to do that.

Re: My 4-day SC experience...

Ha! As I recall, you (rightly) shoved me over to clear the view of our beloved Mel... What a great shot and a great memory. This was the most special graduation I've ever attended at Camp. Something about it was unique, I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it was the guests in the back, maybe it was t...

Re: Passport to Space, FREE!

I actually had the original e-mail printed out before I saw Endeavour in L.A., but lost it. Thanks, p51,
for sending it out in time for our trip. The GF wants to visit nearby Ames, so another stamp might be in
my near future.

Re: My 4-day SC experience...

SpaceCanada, this was one of my most enjoyable trips to SC yet. Mostly due to the great folks on our team, all vets as stated before, but not too jaded as to expect more and more and more. They were a FUN bunch, with a couple of them bringing along totems in the form of a Barbie or a stuffed Laika. ...

Re: My 4-day SC experience...

In the past, we would often incorporate elements that were external to our experience at Camp: a Canadarm extending an olive branch to a Chinese fireworks rocket, a Mercury capsule flying into an orbital sunset when Gordo Cooper died, a SpaceShip One zooming up when Rutan's group won the X-Prize.
