Yeah, there's every possibility that your Adult SA session will do a "mini-AC" like ours did, where you at least get to use the centrifuge and the simulators. Let us know how it goes!

I was kind of bummed it was filmed in the dark and you couldn't see much of the grounds, but I imagine if it had taken place during the day, it might have interfered with regular camp activities.

I won't be able to make the Huntsville gig, but Buckbee and Schirra will be at the astronaut autograph convention I'm going to this weekend, so I look forward to meeting them and picking up the book!

You'll have a great time! Wish I was going back this year!

Everyone in my group wore flight suits, and those who did the EVA wore space suits, so the question of not wearing one didn't come up, but I think it would be okay, too. I actually wore my own flight suit (that I owned prior to camp) on Saturday when most of our missions were, so I was in light blue...

Back to the briefcases, they were still being given out at Adult Space Academy (weekend program) as late as the session I went to in September of last year.

Sounds like you had an awesome time - I would love to go to Marshall! Looking forward to the pics!

I was able to sneak down to the lunch room TV with a few of my co-workers from a few minutes before liftoff till after MECO...I'm just amazed at how everything seemed to fall into place so well today, even the weather! Everyone mentions how cool the external tank cam is :) My lucky brother went back...

Thanks re: the pics...cool...I'll have to look at everyone's photo albums more closely when I have the time!

I'm trying to find the pics...should I be going to the HabPhotos section? Where do I go from there?

I have no internet access at work, but am going to try to catch it on the lunch room TV...that is, if someone's not watching some dumb show at the time :x If they are, or I get too busy to get away, I'm bringing a radio and hopefully a news station will have it... Just heard the mishap has been repa...

Hope one or more work out for you!

I've met Rick Searfoss, Harrison Schmitt, Story Musgrave, Marsha Ivins, and Michael Fincke, but not at space camp. I'll probably meet 15-20 more astronauts when I go to an astronaut autograph show next month - I'm so excited! http://www.autographshows.net

Happy Birthday!

If you have an IMAX theater near you, there's an IMAX movie called Magnificent Desolation coming out this fall that has actual footage the Apollo astronauts filmed that's been converted to the IMAX format. Should be cool...I wish the museum I volunteer at would get it, but I haven't heard they will....

I hope they do find there were other factors in his death other than the stress of the ride. I'd hate to see something like Space Camp consider toning down its simulators out of concern that a similar thing might happen (though with Space Camp requiring a doctor's permission, they might not feel as ...

[Darn] It Feels Good To Be a Gangster just reminds me of a scene in Office Space...which reminds me so much of work it's hilarious!

We didn't have too much music being played at camp, though I do remember it being a topic of discussion at Otter's

It must be really strange being a counselor for adult camp, although it seemed that both campers and counselors didn't really think much about how young/old everyone was during our session.

Going to an astronaut autograph convention in August! other than that, just the usual stuff...work, volunteering at the science museum, going to the pool, watching movies.

Thought this was a cool article:
