That's awesome news!

Thanks for posting! I'll be checking it out when I get home.

Astronauts are climbing aboard. Saying a little prayer.

I was a freshman in high school when it happened. I remember sitting there in class and thinking it must be a mistake because to that point, the shuttle was "safe." Nothing bad had ever happened to it before. Not to mention, they wouldn't put a teacher on board if it wasn't safe. Unfortuna...

What cracks me up is every time Congress wants to have some special hearing on Global Warming, there's inevitably a snow storm that screws it all up.

Thanks for posting that, Boomerang. I pray we never have another space-related accident.

Note about Space Camp: I attended as a child and wasn't "selected" as an astronaut. I was a Mission Control flunky instead. We had to read from a binder notebook and flip switches, just like that girl in the above picture. Trust me, she's thinking, "worst camp ever"! And yes, I'...

Jennie from what a friend of mine who is still working at camp said this year you wouldnt be alone being in an older age bracket. My friend said they have new trainees who talk about their grand kids and people of all ages this year. Wonder if I could talk my husband into it? Hmmmm....I can see the...

NASA is now saying Thursday, February 7. Three more weeks.

What I would give to go back and re-live those days. Alas, I'm too old now.

Max and Jinx...friends...forever!

The shuttle's crew includes commander Steve Frick and former professional football player Leland Melvin. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1986, and used his chemistry and engineering degrees to launch a NASA career after hamstring injuries forced him out of the NFL.

Looks like today's a scrub. From NASA's website: Dec. 6, 10 a.m. EST: During tanking, two of four LH2 Engine Cutoff (ECO) sensors failed to respond appropriately, which is a Launch Commit Violation. The requirement to proceed calls for 3 of 4. The launch was scrubbed at 9:56 a.m. EST on the recommen...

Absolutely!!! Sometimes I think we just need to storm the offices and take over. To us, it's a love of the program. To some (not all of them), it's just a job.

True, but when I was a counselor there, we called it "Adult Space Camp."

Well, glad I'm not holding my breath for a response. Still nothing.

No mention of adult programs. Guess we're not worthy.

I just shot them an e-mail. Maybe they'll respond.

You haven't experuianced Horrible Space Camp Cafeteria food till you eat it for 3 months straight. The same food every week with few exceptions.
