I called CanadaSpace or is it SpaceCanada?!
Hey, that was fun but I have unlimited long distance and found out she is included. It was really fun but she was telling me how to make something for my little space camp and it all involved measurements. It was pretty funny to do this international style (vs centimeters or inches). "Such and ...

Yikes! Does anybody, maybe Rich, know about the old 3G sim at SC? I had heard that someone was hurt (or maybe worse?) in an accident, but never had this confirmed. I did not go on it, so I don't know but I heard it was kind of a freak thing. The other thing, though nothing like that, was that they h...

LOL! I might do a bit better with an extra job for over the summer-- maybe $450 out of my price range. I'm going to bet that somehow (maybe stolen) some of my h.s. students next year are going to have it. They may be in the lower half of the income range for the country but they never let a thing li...

I guess what I mean was whether you have any control of the Shuttle or if you are just pushing buttons and moving the stick and watching a video. Today I told the kids we were going to get the Shuttle in orbit and then they could have a break and really go in orbit! ;-) --des I guess the whole topic...

Yikes, I would *never* do that. Besides the principal would probably kill us. (I'm referring to the teacher, she isn't popular among the kids either though.) --des They were talking on the radio last week about this teacher who has a bucket of water on his desk. If a phone goes off during class, he ...

At my little space camp we never got the simulator software to work. I found a video of a heads up display on youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9elcSXVNlMw) It's pretty cool. I told the kids they weren't flying it, but I bet if I hadn't said anything, had big speakers under the chair, and hid...

Hah! I have to share that with a friend of mine who loves these. I guess I will have to change planes from Southwest (just about the only airline that flies out of here). I have 3 1/2 more weeks of summer school and some real serious stuff to deal with my mom who has Alzheimers. I am still planning ...

Re: Space Camp Video from 1986-1992
Rich, I know what Rabbit Ears are, but I thought they were for getting reception on a tv (I mean without cable or satellite). I love Star Trek btw. BTW, do you or anybody else here remember a video that SC used to put out. I ran it not that long ago. It is maybe about 15 minutes long and includes hi...

Cell phones at Camp?! My goodness how times have changed. Some teams I had were a handful. I could only imagine what it would have been like with cell phones too. LOL I always have to fight with my h.s. students re: cell phone use. But even though I think all the kids I work with now have CD player...

Perhaps the Mother Ship reads this? Because that hiding everything is a bad idea!! Back in the day, there was even a huge multipart screen (actually modern enough to be done now) with scenes of SC looking out over the training floor. You could watch everything. I'm sorry about the changes in the mus...
Re: The long drive home
Oh gosh, someone my age, at least I think from the photo! I attended adult session in 1989 and AC a couple years later. That's it. It was still memorable even if I could never attend the Advanced program due to the month, still could not. The thing I really loved in AC was the zip line-- other water...

I sure didn't mean to imply that it was cool in the evening. Unlike in the Southwest it does NOT cool down there and the humidity is overwhelming. Kind of hits you in the face when you get off the plane! However the dorms are cold (or were). I was just freezing all the time. I wore the flight suit (...
