why not be Lisa Nowack for halloween this year! You might win "most original costume" at a party. Wear a diaper over your flightsuit, carry some mace and a BB gun, and walk around with a spaced-out look on your face. Scary!

Welcome Des! I don't remember the name of the simulator we had, just that it was the one closest to the UAT at the time In my day, that simulator was Columbia. My first mission back in '89 was aboard that ship. I think they renamed it to Intrepid or something after the crash in '03, so you may have...

Sounds like you were there in '89. Pathfinder was finished in late '88, but Hab 1 (where you slept) was new in early '89. AC started the following year. Yes, the rooms inside the "tin can" (Hab 1) would get very cold at night. So cold, that, my 1994 bunk-mates and I removed the grates off ...

I still don't have my 25th anniversary DVD. I guess they won't send them up here... On another note though, does anyone know what other anniversary stuff they have at the gift shop besides the polo shirt and the badge? I wanted to get the alumni calendar and the monopoly game if they have them. Unf...

if you asked brent simon he would probably send it to you (if you go to alumniandi's myspace page you can find a link to his myspace page there and message him).

or, you could send me the mp3 of the song and i might be able to remove the vocal track from that (?)

Are you kidding? Shatner is a perfect choice for a host. I'm sure there will be plenty of industry speakers on hand for the ceremonies, but for the spotlight job of emcee you need someone who is recognizable to everyone, including those who are not "in-the-know" with NASA and Space Camp. I...
