I sure hope someone gets on here and posts the pics, because I don't take pictures myself. Ohh and how could I forget, we had lunch with our good buddy Hoot Gibson who was particularly glad to see our team mascot! Additionally, as a first hand report, there is some steady progress on Pathfinder. The...

When we graduated this year, they played that video in front of everyone. I don't know if the VHS tape they had was bad or the video is just that old, but the quality was bad.

I'm so glad they put it online. It wasn't the same as being there but it was still great. It makes me want to go back so I can see the Davidson Center in person. I just saw the new Davidson center this weekend at the Alumni academy. Trust me, if you can get the time you need to go see it. I'm proud...

Re: Pathfinder Heavily Damaged

A friend of mine who lives in the Huntsville area brought this to my attention tonight. Aparently a large chunk of the bottom of Pathfinder fell away and onto the External Tank. From the general deterioration that i saw to the once beautiful artifact this does not surprise me at all. I was shocked ...

So I did some research on the missions and here is what i found out. The sims floor is reporting that while they are shorter, these mission formats are new and intended for adult participants with more challenging anomalies and EVA's. Also the orbiters are not set in stone and may change before the...

Jason recently told me about the date announcement for the Alumni Academy, and while I was planning to make a trip before the summer to see the new Davidson building, I think I might have to hit two birds with one stone.

I recently also found a Space Camp article in a local news paper, which had a write up taken from the Los Angeles Times. Even had a counselor of one of the Parent/Child Teams that I recognize... Nice to see that the USSRC is making the news.
