some realism in the movie
I'll admit the movie has alot of problems with it bt their are some things realistic in it. The simulator they used for their camp mission is still their its the Discovery in the back of the training center. And some of the day to day stuff at camp is fairly realistic as to what its like at camp. But also keep in mind none of us went to space camp in 1985 when the movie was filmed so we dont really know what it was like then. Some obvious diffrences are the old training center, some things in the museum that arent their anymore and the obvious absense of the Habs which were'nt yet built. Also notice in the movie you never see Atlantis or Enterprise (Then known as challenger) thats because the interior of Atlantis was used for filming the seens inside the shuttle in space and the cargo bay of the Enterprise as i said then known as challenger was used for filming the cargo bay shots in space.

The movie shows them in an area below the cafeteria in the museum. I dont know how acurate this is but i have noticed the door that the boys in the movie used to go to their sleeping area is still their so their is room under their i guess. And the movie may have been acurate in that regard. I'm really not sure i dont know anyone who went in that time frame. The info i knew about them using certain sims for filming the movie comes from someone who i know whos son worked on the movie crew.
