Wow! It seems like just yesterday you were posting about completing your training. It is amazing how fast the summers pass by. It's a shame you won't be there a week longer to torture my husband when he goes through Adult AC the weekend of Aug 24.

The haze was think up here in Jacksonville, but I was able to spot the smoke trail going up. AWESOME!!!!!

Awwww....Too adorable.

God Speed, Endeavour!!!

when talking on the phone, use words like "roger", "copy" and "standby" to simulate comms with mission control My husband does that already...and he hasn't even gone yet!!! T minus 2 1/2 weeks for him. He's going to AC, so he's probably gonna be pretty bad when he gets...

Those are brillant!!!

Hoot Gibson was awesome. He hung out with us at Otters and told stories. Mike Mullane seemed alright too when I met him in '91 or '92. I still have his autographed SpaceShots collector card somewhere (anyone remember those?) I'm glad Mike Mullane made a good impression on you, because most of the t...

The pics are great!!! I have to go back. That's all there is to it.

It's so cool y'all had good experiences meeting Bob Springer. When I came across most astronauts that visited Camp, they weren't very pleasant (to the campers or the counselors). Sally Ride was the exception.

Yup, we have the new launch date. I am in Florida now. We did the VIP KSC tour today. Words cannot describe the excitement of today! We went to the Apollo 1 launch pad, LC-39A to see endeavour, and so much more. I thought the STS-118 launch pad would be the best part but the SSPF was amazing! We we...

aren't a lot of the councilors college kids that are doing it for a summer job or for the experience? i know that one or two of my councilors were college kids that once they finished their schooling they moved on to full time jobs elsewhere. That's exactly what happened to me. I did it for the thr...

Just saw this on the Kennedy Space Center News website:

08.02.07 - SHUTTLE: Endeavour has been cleared for flight on mission STS-118. Launch is set for 7:02 p.m. EDT Aug. 7.

I wonder if it was the same one from when I was a counselor in the early 90s.

SpaceCanada wrote:Why is it always the toilet? Maybe those Space Camp anomalies aren't so ridiculous after all. This time it really is the toilet!!

LOL I just saw that!!! There's still hope yet!

The bathroom...

Why am I not surpised?!

Well, the calendar rolled over today to a new month, so all their flight clocks reset. On a positive note, Northwest is a travel partner of Delta & Continental airlines. If something should happen, say with your connections, they can easily put you on one of the other two airlines. My husband un...

How long will you be down there for? They said they moved it to Tuesday to give them more opportunities to launch during the week. Just keep wishing for the best.

That's great news. I still can't believe they took Skylab out of the muesum.
