Interesting. I will have to see if I get the USA network up here (in Canada) on digital satellite.

We did several experiments while we were in the classrooms in HABII and the portable classrooms in addition to the ones we did during our missions.

I was fortunate enough to get the book that was similar to the one they used for the Level 2 programme the year before. We also got the t-shirt with "Advanced Academy" written across the back. Do they still hand these out with registration? I remember they only had size adult Large and X-L...

Sorry about my first message, I didn't realise it would actually turn into a 'message'. Don't mind me... I'll figure things out... eventually... The reason I started this topic was to see if they still do experiments at camp. Not just "Let's see who we can duct tape to the wall/floor/chair/what...

Memorabelia

I have a black pen with Advanced Space Academy inscribed on it from July 1998. I have another one, a clear blue click pen from October 1999. I also have the first Advanced Space Academy handbook and the second generation one, which is considerably smaller. I was rather disappointed at how much they ...

This is a truly wonderful book; worth the read! It is full of stories from astronauts' experiences, some of which are highly humourous. It really gives a sense of how fun being an astronaut really is! Another wonderful book I recently obtained is "High Calling" by Evelyn Husband, wife of a...

I tried to apply for a summer counsellor position while I was between years at university, but all their positions were full with counsellors who were staying over from the winter session, go figure!

What would I be...

Although I marked ASA as my absolute favourite, I would love to teach any of the Space Camp levels. Why? Maybe it's my thought that younger kids can be fun too! If you think you have to treat kids like kids, that creates a problem right there. If you treat kids like friends and grown ups, they learn...

Camp Spaciale/Space Camp Canada

I have heard great things about Space Camp Canada. It was through Space Camp Canada that I discovered U.S. Space Camp! I attended the Challenger Centre week-long 'Space Camps' almost every year for as long as I can remember at the local space/science centre. My first year as an 'advanced astronaut' ...

Multinational teams

Any given week at Space Camp could be an International Camp without all the frills they throw in for the official International Camp each year. Being a foreigner myself, I felt right at home with my multinational teams. In 1998 I attended a summer session with a handful of other ASA teams. Some of m...

Ice Breakers

Both times I visited Space Camp ASA we had ice breakers the first night. I had the same evening counsellor both times, Jeremy, so some of the games we played were the same both times: 1. Post Office - Everyone has their chairs in a circle facing the centre with one person in the centre. THe person i...

New Flight Suit Colour

I have not been to Camp since they changed the flight suit colour. Are these new flight suits similar to the ones the counsellors used to wear (1998, 1999)? If so, I asked the store about purchasing a royal blue one in July 2003 and they told me that the royal blue flight suits were only for counsel...

The Hubble Decision

Ever since the initial news that the Hubble may be discarded there was a giant uproar: astronomers, scientists, physicists, scientists of all kinds, and public citizens alike. This has created a huge indecision with the Hubble. I hear news that is has been removed from the budget, yet I also hear ne...

I am at a loss for words! I absolutely loved going to Marshall to see the ISS mock-up, and now seeing it being donated to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center is amazing. A mate of mine who went to camp a week prior to myself was a mere 5 metres away from real astronauts working in the ISS simulator. Wh...

Great Counsellors

I have only been to camp twice, but both times I had Jeremy as my counsellor. It was amazing, because over a year and a half, he remembered me - I was in shock! Him and I ad a lot of inside jokes running from the first camp onto the second. Even after my second camp we chatted in e-mails and on Yaho...

Duct Tape

Duct Tape is such a useful tool, for anything; everything; and then some... Space Camp is no exception! Both of my visits to Space Camp thus far have included memorable moments with the infamous duct tape: 1. Never use a fire extinguisher in a simulator without bracing yourself against something. A ...
