Re: STA news

Other than the patches at the $50 perk level, has anyone received any of their perks? I wrote to
Trevor yesterday, but no reply yet.

Re: Airshow I attended this past weekend...

Looks like someone might have earned a Tirebiter award there. Great photos, p51!

Re: T-38 arrived at Huntsville

Can't wait to see the Talon this Fall. Awesome display, I saw just the stand last year. Cool that they included a pic of Dottie in the signage. Such an inspiration, I know her post-NASA career will be stellar. Irene once told us the story of when they first pulled the Skylab solar panels out of stor...

Re: Adult space camp living quarters

I always stay at the Marriott the day before and the day after Camp. And I've been known to "close" Otter's every night for a week, watching the games and talking to the bartenders, a couple of whom became good friends over the years. We'd even exchange gifts... Alas, Otter's is no more. N...

Re: STA news

Trevor recently told me he's still waiting for one more autograph on the posters.

Kinda wish they'd mail out the perks they do have. Getting the patch and keychain would be nice.

Oh well. Patience is a virtue.

Re: vintage Space Camp memorabilia!

That is a very cool cap, p51. I like it a lot, never saw one like it. Wear it this October and make us all jealous!

Re: So, who's ready for 2014?

It's always been the luck of the draw for me. My least favorite position (notice how I put that?) is being an ISS lackey doing "experiments," but even that can be fun. The best draw I ever got? Being the PLT with all the switch throws that go with it, then on re-entry the CDR unexpectedly ...

Re: So, who's ready for 2014?

Very true, Steve. I've been "stuck on the ground" in MOCR many times and I've enjoyed it as much as flying, especially as CAPCOM and Flight Director.

Re: So, who's ready for 2014?

LDMs/EDMs are great, I've had a lot of fun in them, but the shorter 2-hour missions help to spread the stick time around. Lots of stick jockeys out there. I know, I'm one of 'em! And being an MS doing EVAs really teaches that this whole Spaceflight biz is a lot more than just flipping switches. It's...

Re: STA news

It's possible that some of the perk items are still being produced, except for the posters, which have already been signed, or are being signed.

Re: vintage Space Camp memorabilia!

Has anyone else run across one of these?: http://imgur.com/LQz3r9o As far as I know, they were given out to VIPs sewn onto hats back before the "US" was added to the SRC. I found two on eBay years ago, and gave one, a green version, to Crispy, former counselor queen of the ISS. This blue v...

Re: Save Space Camp!

This is a sickening development, Braids, I'm so sad and mad this has happened. What's the word on a legal/government remedy? What's the local media coverage like, do you hear about any donations coming in? This is often done down here, like when a playground is burned down by an arsonist or Christma...

Re: Habitats

There are two lockers in each room that are extra-sized. Larger suitcases will fit. I always
hog one of them, plus two of the smaller ones. But I bring a small fan for white noise,
so no one has ever complained.

Re: Toxic team members

Yeah, I, too, didn't see anything wrong in the blog posting. I've read MUCH worse...

Our younger colleagues can be a little annoying to some of us, but I mostly see $ signs when I look
at them. Camp wouldn't be viable without them.

No "i" in "Team" is absolutely right.
