There are several more...my brain is overloaded with work stuff right now.

Funny thing how most of the coolest stuff for the media to film took place at Aviation Challenge....

I will grant you at least partial credit for that Vincent. Spanky was there during the filming. Thankfully, he didn't make it into the movie. :)

Aviation Challenge's centrifuge was featured in the Amazing Race's visit to Sprocket - whereas Space Camp was barely seen.

Well in a way AC was in SpaceCamp the movie. The bubble at AC was the second home for SC and the first home for SA. It is where a majority of the camp scenes were filmed.

In the script for the second movie, AC was represented quite a bit. F-4 and the MiG, the Barn, the sims, etc.

And yes, campers, there was a script for a Space Camp the movie sequel. I think I still have my copy - Spanky you still have yours?

AND...

It's pathetically awful.

Yes I do....I believe the title was Moon Crash....Beyond Space Camp.

I do still have it. I can answer questions but no, we cannot put the script out.

My favorite was the sentient alien that looked and talked like Scooby Doo.

I'm not kidding.

Wow! I'm putting all your small bits of information about SpaceCamp2 and I'm getting a really bizarre picture in my head. I'm laughing to bits - it sounds horrendous! Did the movie even include anything resembling Space Camp at all?

Yeah....the basis was the grandson of a former Apollo astronaut ( the trainee was a current long attending camper) is selected as the "American" represenative for an international group of campers. They come from Space Camps form all around the globe (insert "We Are the World" jokes here). These campers develop an experiment that is suppose to be flown to ISS. Well a "strange singal" is recieved from the moon, a quick plan is thrown together, a LM is busted out of the Smithsoian and readied for flight, a shuttle is flown to the moon with the LM in the cargo bay, the old Apollo astronaut (commander for Apollo 20 BTW) comes out of retirement, the trainee flies to the moon as the LMP and then THE HIJINXS BEGIN!!!!!

The singal is coming from some little fuzzy creatures that have super IQ's (Insert bad Star Trek joke here) and the fun continues. I am making my head hurt just by typing this.

You ought to read the entire script. It's absolutely terrible.

I second that - if Sprocket's in it, I wanna see it. Even if it sucks.

I'm such a sucker for USSRC and Space Camp stuff. The library was having abook sale last summer and I bought three books just because they had a few pages about US Space Camp! I wanted to buy a book that had a picture of Rocket Park on the front but that book was new and cost more than the 25-50 cents I paid for each of the other books. (Gotta love library book sales... cheap!) I should really scan those articles and post them somewhere... hmmm... later...

Back on topic... I'd definitely add anything featuring Space Camp or USSRC to my collection of books and movies, even if it were a pathetically horrible movie that had no plot or substance to it. (That is, of course, if I could find it cheap somewhere...)

Well, until it's determined okay for public consumption (and derisive laughter), you're not getting the title of this film! :P
