We got a budget we could use to get supplies like aluminum foil, steel wool, cork, copper, and things like that, and we had to make a shield so that when they held up a blow torch that went to about 1200 degrees the egg ...

Re: Back from Advanced Academy!
The Commander Cup award goes to the team who earned the most points during engineer challenges like rocket building, the egg shield, apple space suit, and things like that. Whichever team got the most points overall got the commander cup award.

Re: Back from Advanced Academy!
Our team won the Commander Cup award, that was pretty cool. But the thing I really hope to get out of camp is to stay in touch with all the wonderful people I met.

Re: Back from Advanced Academy!
Our missions were really fun! We had a bunch of anomalies, but the medical ones were the best. Our whole Orbiter and ISS crew died at one point, haha. I got to be flight director for the 3 hour mission, and I was MS3, and 2 for the 1 hour missions ( Canadarm controller and the thing with the harness...

Back from Advanced Academy!
I just got back from Advanced Space Academy and wanted to say it was wonderful! International week was a blast, and it's the most fun I've had all year. I was worried about those only 30 minutes to get ready in the morning and night but as it turns out no one really cares if you wake up early (or st...

Re: Daily Schedule
When you said there will be people from around the world for international camp is that a specific group or is that in general? Will my group have all of those kids?

Re: Daily Schedule
Wow, thanks. I have to admit I'm a little worried about only having 30 minutes to get ready. Especially since I don't want to have people waiting on me or vice versa for the showers. I guess I'll have to adjust, haha.

Camp Shopping!
Okay I think these will be my last few questions before I go to camp. :) What Can you get with the trainee gift card? Can I get Dippin' Dots with the gift card? (I hear there's a lot of Dippin' Dots at camp. :D) Can you go to the gift shop at all during camp? How much money should I bring? I'm leavi...

Daily Schedule
I'm going to camp (Advanced Space Academy Mission Specialist) in about 2 weeks. I was wondering what the daily schedule is like. Here's a few specifics: 1. How long do you have to get ready in the morning (could I wake up early to take a shower and get ready?) 2. Are the shuttle sims difficult? Well...
