3 August slots left, 5 for October

So here we are, a little over 6 weeks until the August 3 day camp spread over 4 days, and still no listing of major activities. As an educated consumer, I am having a hard time with USSRC's customer unfriendly attitude. For example, if I sign up for a cruise, I know the stops and special events befo...

The Hab is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

The August camp has open spots and you can transfer for free. Might be a problem if you've already made your travel arrangements and/or need to get days off work yet if you want your cake (4 day camp) and eat it, too (Hall of Fame), it's not too late. 8) Just 4 slots left as of a couple of minutes ...

Yes, that is a definite plus!

If they could only fix the doors in the Hab... People let them swing close and the sound carries.

The Right Stuff, indeed!

Forgive me, it's Friday

Just another lame case of someone wanting to say they left their mark on something, for their annual review... :? With their former name, it was natural to think that their field of membership was limited to those who work at KSC and their families. It is not. Membership is open to anyone that live...

The Marriott is also much quieter than the Hab, partly due to the difference in design and construction, partly due to the fewer number of people in both your room and the halls. If you are a member of Marriott Rewards, AAA, or eligible for the government or military rate, the price per night is alr...

Effective June 1, 2014, Kennedy Space Center FCU has changed its name to Launch FCU. The name change is not a reflection of a merger with another credit union, and we have not been bought out. The name "Launch" reflects the growth and future of the credit union for our current and future m...

I wish they'd made this August session an option originally, I know of a few people who signed on for the October 4-day camp as it was the only one in 2014 for a while. I think some folks missed out on the Hall of Fame by signing up for October. SC didn't do themselves any favors there as I'd think...

Want to get a jump on my forms for the October 4 day... SCUBA form is not required so that must not be on the schedule.

Given the bugs in the Orion sim, there is a certain element of truth to this article.

Found this note at Sprocketeers about the last ASSEC quarterly meeting: Center staff reviewing pricing of some group camps to help to make up for a downtrend in short programs. Interesting note – payroll makes up 61.42% of operating revenue. Downtrend in short programs? Downtrend is probably declini...

Yep! Been there, done both.... nothing like staying up 40 straight hours....

We had one guy who went to Otter's in his downtime on the 24 hour EDM, came back drunk, went to his position on ISS, said he had space sickness, then went and laid down somewhere on the station.

In September, they handed out a form asking which jobs you wanted on each for MOCR, ISS and STS. I put in for CDR and got it (I got everything I put in for; CDR, CAPCOM and flight engineer on ISS). I believe that nobody else understood what a CDR really does as no other CDR appeared to want it all ...

If you were in Dreamland, you'd be flying it NOW!

How is that not fair? A limited number of slots goes to the best qualified to do the job. That's how it's done in Houston! Agreed, the best qualified get the slots in real life. Yet NASA management is much more sophisticated in its decision making process. Dogfighting in a video game bears very lit...

Otherwise, the only fair way to do it would be to drag all the guys who want to be shuttle commander over to AC and let them duke it out in the dogfight sims. May the best pilot win! Same would go for the EVA'ers, put them in the UAT and whoever has the best time assembling the tetrahedron gets fir...

When I come to Camp, I do the best job I can in whatever position I am assigned for each mission. Yet just like riding roller coasters, I like the front seats because they have the best view. 8) Maybe there should be a position lottery. Once you've manned a position, you're ineligible for it for any...
