That's what I figured about the Mach 1. Obviously little kids are going to fly the plane at full throttle and with erratic movements. In regards to which track I prefer, I'm really not sure. For the EDM I was capcom which was a lot of fun, so I think for the orbiter ms is more fun while for MOCR pil...

I just got back from ASA and it was great! I did the pilot track, which was fun. Well, mostly, because we did the centrifuge at AC but also the flight sims. The flight sims were the Mach 1 ones, which handle like a bar of soap on a slip-n-slide. All in all, I had an awesome time.

iPod touch and PS3. They never cease to amaze.

Well this is digging up an older post but I'm going to ASA in 2 days (yay!) and I'm doing pilot having done MS last year. Hopfully it will be as good but I'm still a little disappointed that its only 6 days. Oh well.

no but I have an ipod touch so if it's free I'll look into it.

In many cases booking online is cheapest on a Tuesday or other strange weekday. I dunno why. I actually got a great deal I'm flying from DC to Huntsville for $200.

hahaha tell them that anything would be too zoomed in to read... But that's pretty cool

Cool thanks for the tip!

hahahaha yes, the 'ghosts!' So apparently hypodermic needles floating around can magically depress their own plungers. Or so they would have us believe. I wanted to ask about the air bubbles that would kill you if you got injected with them, but that wasn't the best idea, considering I had already b...

Can't say I've gotten it, but it looks like it isn't major. And you must've gotten on at least once to start this tread

I agree completely. The kind of backwards thig is that people regard spaceflight as routine. It's amazing that we can launch a space mission so often! People just don't see all these advances. *sigh...*

I don't know if anyone else has heard, but sadly, famous author/director Michael Crichton died on Tuesday Nov. 4 from cancer. I don't know about anyone else, but I was a big fan of his work and I'm shocked to hear this. Also, he was planning to release a new novel next month, and while I believe the...

I'm just hoping he will continue it and give it the funding it needs

Wow this is really random, but I was daydreaming about going to the airport and flying to camp a while ago. Weird.

I have flow unaccompanied before (don't now, but I did for my first time to camp) and it is very well handled and very safe. The airlines will almost always allow a parent to go with the child right up to the gate, where a flight attendent will meet them to put them on the plane. Actually, two kids ...

I believe they're planning to have a test of the Orion launch vehicle in 2009. Anyone hear anything to confirm/deny this? And on the note of presidents, who do you think would be more likely to give NASA more funding?

That it would, but it would have to be done very well. I wouldn't leave it up to Michael Bay

So today people were going around saying "The world's gonna end on Saturday because they're making a huge vacuum in France." I can only assume that they're refering to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. Apparently CNN thinks that it will create a black hole that will swallow the ...

Awesome! have fun!

Hey, I didn't go to the adult camp, but I did recieve a flyer saying the same thing. It said that the discounts only applied to 6 day youth programs, and I did register again and recieve the discount. Hope that helps.
