I asked about a sample schedule for this since the teaser lists only one mission.

Nothing but crickets...

I see that there's a waiting list for this already. Could be why no reply...

I have to ask as this seems to be a theme for you, have they ever replied to your questions asking for a schedule?

Yes, they have.

I'd like to know what I'm getting for my money, especially when it comes to missions. Beats trusting them and complaining afterwards... I used to drink the Kool-Aid. Not any more...

Hi! I signed up for the Adult Advanced Academy this fall. I've been doing a ton of research, with most of it coming from YouTube. There are quite a few videos out there if you narrow your search a bit.

Here is one that's pretty good. He is a little goofy, but you get the gist of the program nonetheless.

Here's their 2018 sample. I had to convert the PDF to a JPG to attach it. This was their 2019 reply: In response to your question about Adult Advanced Space Academy. It is based on the students version of Advanced Space Academy. It will have the same activities with the discussions and briefings being geared toward adults instead of the students.

So, I talked to a couple of the trainers as to why they don't release the schedules either prior to camp or during camp. They said it's because they want to be able to maintain the flexibility of the schedule. If they release the schedule, then people are expecting modules at a certain time. This way, if they need to, or if they have time, they can move things around or add in extra museum time as desired.

The reason that they don't release the schedules prior to camp is accountability. People could hold them responsible then if they failed to provide something. No one is going to hold them accountable if, for example, dinner is at 6 instead of 5. Yet there will be something said if they fail to provide you with dinner... and yes, I've had that happen.

What if they told you ahead of time that you would have 3 missions and then you only did 2 due to equipment problems and/or personnel shortages? You would then have a reason to ask for a refund as they failed to provide a material activity. That's what they are trying to avoid, in my opinion.
