That 8-day group, is that Phil Reeder's bunch? Just curious as he tried to get me into a long program but I couldn't commit to it this year. I like the idea of a split program very much. The full-day mission is something I really wanted to do as well. Mid to late September would be best for me if I ...

Who was more excited to go, your husband or your son (or was it about equal)? As for the flashlight thing, I'd further suggest getting red lenses for the covers if you can find them. A white light kills your night vision if it's dark and a red lens keeps the pupils open. It also isn't as likely to w...

It isn’t looking good for ‘New Ah-lins’ at all, but Huntsville looks well out of the path of this one, thank Goodness. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT09/refresh/AL0912W5_NL_sm2+gif/151338W5_NL_sm.gif I can’t help but wonder how well secured everything is on the grounds there, as a very str...

Re: Too many flightsuits...
I collected Star Trek stuff for several years. I went to Huntsville back about 16 years ago when the 30th of star trek. The KSC visitor center had a Trek exhibit when I was there last September. I lucked up because this was the day before the GRAIL probe went up so there was next to nobody there th...

I'd have a few issues with this timeframe... 1: In late July, I've already committed to a week-long Military Vehicle event in Portland. It'll be tough to get more time from my job right after that. 2: It's really tough to get any time off before school starts as parents get higher priority for time ...

Re: Too many flightsuits...
I loved Above & Beyond. I wished I could find reruns. You can find it on DVD, it's well worth it. I have a few items from the actual show, including a screen-used flightsuit for a named character (Winslow). More on my sci fi stuff with good photos can be seen here: http://www.freewebs.com/willy...

Small world, ecchs. I too will be leaving for camp via SeaTac, but the following weekend as you! The latest news shows the storm taking a NW spin, which is pretty common (I grew up in Tallahassee and we only ever got one big storm through there in my 28 years living there, almost all the others went...

Too many flightsuits...
I was going through the closet the other day and realized I have way too many flightuits. I was in the Army and used them from time to time, I used to volunteer for WW2 airplanes, so I had one for that, too. I also had some for sci-fi and other stuff. These aren't all of them, either. I just thought...

I was shocked when I was at a car show today and someone came up with the news. I knew he'd had bypass surgery very recently but the news was a big shock to me. It's easy for me to forget that many of these guys were in their late 30s when they landed on the Moon, and the 1st landing was done just b...

Tropical storm Issac
You can never predict a storm this far away, but most of the computer models have it heading directly through northern Alabama. http://www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/ A storm will have lost a lot of energy after going that far inland, but is there any plan on if it goes to Huntsville? That...

Notebook?
How handy is it to have something to write on at camp? Being ex-military and having flown on all kinds of military aircraft (both current and WW2-era), I'm used to having notetaking capability at all times for any training. I have a metal notebook (with recessed pen) I've often taken on flights over...

We here at Hab1 are planning an adult trip next fall. Stick around, perhaps you will decide to join us! Hmm. If you can combine it with a SC session, I might wanna take part. Now, as for the simulation of chopper crashes, I can't promise you how I'd deal with that. I've walked away from two Army he...

I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out because we had teachers that were really pushing the movie at the time (I was in high school then, I know some of you weren’t even a gleam in your parent’s eyes at that time). What immediately popped out to me even then was that Mission Control...

Beats me what happened to them all, I was hoping one would pop up on ePay but there’s been nothing over several months. I’ve never seen one for sale anywhere. I assume this was a limited run, but I was hoping that they might have more with the 30th anniversary of the camp and the interest in the mov...
