I always thought it might be kind of fun to be an MS but i stuck to what i knew. Guess i always liked the power and the control.

The arm was fun. Except you're strapped in so much that it's hard to move and you get all sweaty!

Rhe arm always looked like fun. But the cockpit of the shuttle was always enough to keep you busy and it was always fun too.

The cockpit looked like fun to! I'm glad I'm pilot this year!!

If your going to be a pilot i recomend you try to find a copy of the space shuttle operators mannual ahead of time. The book has diagrams of all the shuttle control panels and will help you get familiar with them

If you have the ASA book the diagrams in their are the same as the operators mannual however the one in the mannual are larger picrtures and more clear.

Just hope you're not PROP for the EDM. You'll do nothing. At least I didn't do anything!!

I cant imagine not being in the pilot or commander seat at space camp i loved both jobs.

MOCR was fun too!! We got to laugh at the shuttle when they had problems and the buzzer hadn't shut up in over an hour!!!

I'm glad MOCR doesn't have a buzzer!

I think it would be kind of fun to be a PS since you get to do all the medical stuff. But as for me i's rather stick to being a pilot.
