The 'ASA' trainees wearing name badges were a corporate camp. The wristbands are the system used. As the person who assembles those wristbands, I can tell you they are preferable to the name badges because far fewer get lost. With badges I was replacing 50-60 a week. The barcode system instigated th...

The misters underneath the Saturn I B were a new addition this summer! They were greatly enjoyed by the guests! The added bonus is it looks like the engines are venting.

The tours are every day at 10 AM and 2 PM, and on weekends and as the season gets busier there will be tours more frequently. They take you up to the top of the UAT for the overlook of the floor and into the Hab for a view of a room as well as a peek at the simulators in the Astrotrek building. The ...

It is the tradition on Moonbuggy Race weekend that it start out cold and rainy. This year was no exception. Friday was drizzly with a high around 60. Saturday was gorgeous. It started out in the high 40s, but with the sunshine it warmed up to the low 70s.

Also, in regards to 19 year old counselors, that doesn't happen anymore. The minimum age is now 21, with the requisite number of college credit hours.

The best way to answer the initial question is to call reservations and ask to speak to Kami. She will be able to sort out your eligibility and give advice. She's a great lady.

Hey Vincent, there are a couple more spam threads on the Counseling Session board.

We had a bit of a surprise at the USSRC this morning:


I know it's nothing compared to areas further north, but considering today was supposed to be our 'nice' day with highs in the 50s, it was a shocker!

I hate to contradict CRS, but it was announced that there will be another training in March for Level 3 (open availability) counselors. Training will be 10-30 March and 20 people will be hired to train. Training in May (25- June 5) will be for new space staff, new AC staff, and cross training space ...

He was the voice of news for me, growing up in the 60s. It was the only news program my father would watch.

"10-thread-count sheets"… and probably wasn't too far off. I'm not sure they are that high a thread count. We had a mother this week complain about the 'quality of the linens' and marched off to the mall for nice sheets for her daughter. It's a camp, people. The camp I attended as a child...

Registration for the program will be like the Mach III 12 Day this summer. It will not be available through on-line registration. If you want...

And Hoot signed my copy of Air & Space!! (the one with him on the cover)

Although I have to take anything announced in the Daily Express with a very large grain of salt. They are about as reliable as the National Enquirer.

A group in Dubai purchased a franchise of Space Camp to open camps in Dubai (Dec 2009), north Africa and, I believe, India. They should be great camps, as they will be duplicating Space Camp's simulators and general activities (also updating to reflect NASA's future goals).
