Re: Adult Week 2013?
If we can join in the same week as them, maybe we can cut the costs down. Are they willing to include us in their plans?
Re: SC pins?
I had forgotten about the hats. I think I have a couple of them from Parent/Child camps too. When I look at the picture of my wings, I realize that all of my Space Academy wings are there without the one with the shuttle over the shield, so it had to come from a Parent/Child. I just don't know if it...
Re: SC pins?
I got the mission specialist name patch made up the first year I attended, in 1988. The Conan patch was given to me at graduation the first time I attended Adult AC, in 1997. Everyone got a patch with their call sign. The one with just my full name was made up in advance on a free uniform they gave ...
Re: SC pins?
This thread got me wondering if I could find all of my spacecamp wings. I searched around and found all 12. Some were on patches on flightsuits or a jacket and a couple I had put into displays of my awards. I was surprised at how many different styles there are. I took a photo: https://sphotos-b.xx....

Re: Shuttle stack pins, are they really an award?
I have a few of those. One without the stack and I think, 2 with. I only got them at the Parent/Child programs and I did get two the year that we won two awards. Also got a really nice medal for "Outstanding Astronaut Trainee" which they said was the top award that year. Two other teams go...

Re: Patches for the different programs?
Or put in a saved search in Ebay, so you will be notified as soon as one comes up. I have had success with saved searches in the past. Even for items that almost never show up.

Re: Patches for the different programs?
I got the Advanced Academy patch years ago and did just that. Also the regular Space Academy Patch. I think that was the first one that I swapped out on my flight suit for the Space Camp patch. It would be a shame if they got rid of the patches. The first time I attended Adult Academy, my assignment...

Re: You tube video I just put together...
I made a video in 1996 of my 8-day team experience. I transferred it from VHS to DVD several years ago. It is about 45 minutes long, but I don't know how to get it onto Youtube.

Re: Adult Week 2013?
I posted it on my Facebook page to see if any of my other alumni friends might be interested. It would help if we could select a week.

Re: Adult Week 2013?
It is a lot, but I can handle it, if we can get enough people. I will drive instead of fly in.

Alumni 6-day
Hi, I was cleaning out some shelves today and came across my old space camp schedules from several times I attended, including the Adult 8-day in 1996. My Kennedy Team from 96 had several reunion get togethers and even tossed around the idea of a special reunion Advanced Adult Academy. I found my no...

Hab1 Camp
Hi all, Back from a cruise of the Mediterranean, so I am just catching up on a lot of these posts. (95 - 100 degrees there! I may as well have been in Huntsville!!) Anyway, I am still in for the 6-8 day camp next year, if we can get one. August or September should work, but the earlier the dates are...

Duct Tape
Duct tape is also useful on your shuttle mission to keep things from floating away in the simulated microgravity environment inside the orbiter. If you just set your tools down, a "helpful" ghost could make them float away. But if you duct tape them to the wall, they will stay.

Flight suits
I would definitely go for the flight suits. They add to the feeling of being a real astronaut. They are not too hot for indoors. I usually wear mine for the missions, but not for all of the training. And they are particularly good for graduation ceremonies. (although I usually take it off for the dr...

Marshall Tours
As I recall, a couple of times the Marshall tour was an optional after-graduation event. That way, it did not impact the schedule at all.

Photos
Vincent,
I have a lot of photos from 1988 that I can send you. Tons of the training center and the Marshall tour. Do you have an email that I can send them to? I can put them on Facebook, but then not everyone can see them.
