August Alumni Session

Post by ApolloXI »

I am at the point now that I am planning on being at the August Alumni session but first I have to wait until my next pay check in two weeks. If I can't afford it, can't get the days off, or something gets in the way I plan on at least being there for one night. I am wondering who else is planning on attending the next session.

I am considering it.

Unfortunately, I have to go to St. Louis first and deal with some unpleasant stuff with my mother who has Alzheimers. So I get done with summer camp/school; go to St. Louis; go to Huntsville, and then school starts again. I was thinking how stressful that sounded. SC is fun but it is not exactly relaxing, otoh, it is exciting, so maybe that would be good. So those are my issues. I do have the money, now that I am getting paid in full for summer (there was some question as my enrollment was so low).

So anyway, that's kind of how it stands with me. So I hope I can work it out. I imagine they will have the slots for me to wait a bit to decide. I think the bigger deal is that I get the plane ticket low as possible. There isn't a good way to get from NM to Huntsville!

I had such a great time last weekend that I want to go to the August Alumni Camp. But, I don't think I can. I do, however, at least plan to be there for the weekend so at least I can ATO with you guys. ;) And who knows, maybe they'll let us bum around with the group.

We'll see how the next 30 days goes.

I'm booked for August and paid in full. I wonder how many slots total for the Aug session? And how many teams?

Hey quick question... I was thumbing through the Hab1 site and saw a photo of the USSRC from the air. I noticed in the photo that there was a Saturn V standing by the space shot. When did they add that? I just remember the Sat V on the ground and the standing Sat 1B when I was there last. Is the Sat 1B still around? Wow its been a while.

I think the sign at camp said that it was put up in 1999.

And I am so jealous of those of you going to camp (and those of you going back to camp Apollo!). You will have a great time!

Alumni Andy told me that right now they are holding at one team for the August session.
The Saturn 5 was built sometime in the 90's I am not sure about when. The Standing Saturn I-IB is still standing in her glorious place in the Rocket Park.

Its great to hear of this new addition to rocket park. However, it begs the question, is the standing Sat V a mockup? After all you just can't find these things laying around places...

The standing Saturn V was built in 1999 for the 30th anniversary of Apollo 11. It is a replica and the real one is still laying right where it use too atleast for a couple more weeks till its moved into the new Saturn V center.

I'm in the same boat. I'd like to come back for one more round before the end of summer, even if only as a visitor and not a camper. I earned a free stay at the Marriott so my excuse could be to use that!

Sadly I have decided against it. I have to go to St. Louis and stay longer than I usually do. Then I start school (well work for me) on something like the 7th. So there is almost no recovery time in between. My camp this summer was pretty wild and I am not exactly looking forward to work as we are getting all new support staff. And who knows what that will be.

I hope everybody has fun though.

:-(
