Re: Werner von Braun
Well there is no evidence that he really WAS a Nazi. True, he worked for the Nazi war machine and was responsible for some very bad things for that reason, but he was "hired" because of his rocket building abilities. I'm sure he would have been shot if he had refused. He kept files of his ...

Well if it is still so cold in the dorms, you might want to wear it to bed. :-) --des Believe me when you are down here in summer you will want to wear your flight suit as little as possible. Mission and grad time is probably your best time. Wear it much more it will get really ripe in this heat and...

Me too, Dan. Esp. Next Gen. I didn't like DS9 when it came out but I enjoy it sometimes now in syndication. I also liked Voyager and Trek Classic. I even liked Enterprise. I esp. liked the theme with the collage of past (and presumably future) space missions. But I wondered if, since I liked it, tha...

Well from the stuff I have read here. I am guessing there are more than a few Asperger kids. :-) I am guessing some of YOU are Asperger kids. (It takes one to know one, I should point out.) You should have said DIAGNOSED. :-p Well I am glad they are working on the movie. At least the movie is more a...

Sorry but I don't get this. If I right click on a picture I don't even get preferences. I could put it on flickr I suppose.
But how about the image section of hab 1.
Ok, I have flickr link but have no idea if this will work for ya'll.

It kind of does put Space Camp in a bad light, showing it as a typical bureaucratic organization (but I suppose they could soften that a lot-- make the problem the school district and so on and disbelief rather than resistance from Space Camp.) Btw, I think they have changed their image from a group...

My own little "space camp"
It's been fun, if exhausting. I have 9 boys 4th-6th grade. The simulator (or part of it) comes Friday. So far we have: built and launched rockets; built K'Nex Mars' bases; done an egg drop; grown crystals; and I have lost track, etc etc. Today we went out to a rocky area and did a simulated Mars roc...

I just bought Space Station for camp (my private collection now). They are all available thru Amazon (course you can't see them IMAX but the video quality is very good. I'm thinking of getting The Dream is Alive. I love that one. Btw, per Space Canada's recommendations I showed them the Apollo 15 se...

Strange strange, but things are quite different in the desert Southwest of Albuquerque. It is raining just about every afternoon (too bad for dog Torie). But anyway, we had our rocket launches at our camp! Yes I can see how you need the ground to be damp. Anyway all the kids rockets went up!! Mine f...
Are you speaking of little kiddo shirts from SC vs SA or ASA? As I don't think you would ever be able to fit into *those*. I was thinking maybe you were mid 20s and were speaking of HS shirts. I think you'd actually have to shrink to get into those. But I don't have clothes I had as a kid. Of course...

Hah! Well yes there was a pilot. Can you image the crazy ACers in a sky near you without a licensed pilot?? This lasted, I think, two years. I don't know why the cancelled it. I think it was actually much more expensive than my little discover flight type thing that I did with a private flight schoo...
You never know Castaway. I am thinner now than I was when I was your age. When I reached a certain undisclosed age :-) I decided it was time to take a few pounds off, which I did mostly by lots of exercise and eating healthy. So I am about the same weight I was in college. --des Speaking of sponsor ...
I'm sure there were, but I never saw any. I think they put us on the quietest and most remote wing there was. Back in the day, I don't think anybody would have thought about adults bothering kids.... --des Yes the lights out counselor is sill stationed n the hall each night and does patrol till 11. ...
