Yeah, that's why I want to be an astronaut! And Dr. Thirsk says he will in the summer, but he will have to get back to me later. He is very busy right now.

No problem! Dr. Thirsk says he'll drop by in July, but he doesn't know when yet. He's got the site, and he's getting a username soon, so stay tuned!

I can't wait! Maybe Vincent can give him a special title (Rocket Scientist?). That'd be cool.

Yeah! I can imagine it! Dr. Robert Thirsk, Hab1 Ultimate Astronaut! And he'll be emailing Vincent about his visit to Hab 1. So, Vincent, let us know if anything comes up!

Wow! An astronaut visiting this site?! I feel so embarrassed and proud of these turn of events...both at the same time!

There's nothing to be embarrassed about! I mean, Hab 1 really deserves it. We've made it grow popular and you have created us a place to hang out! Just remember to give him a good title, and don't insult him! :wink:

Well, obviously Vincent wouldn't, but I've got schoolmates that hate Dr. Thirsk and will insult him. :(

That's incredibly sad. He is an astronaut, he deserves a little respect.

Everyone at school thinks I'm a space nerd. Anyway, ALL astronauts should be treated with respect. My schoolmates have NO respect for people who risk their lives in space exploration.

ooh yay an astronaut! it would kinda be cool if we had a chatroom here so we could all be in it with him, but posting works too.
i met jay buckey (sts 90) a while ago .. i also met a female astronaut but i cant remember her name :oops: i was probably 10 then. ill ask my mother later.
i feel the same way at school. which is part of why it was so sad to leve camp last time..and go back to the real world. space camp is so special its like the only place where everyone around you is so interested in the same thing and it seems like they actually understand you.

I agree entirely. Everyone at camp most likely likes space topics.

For those of you who have been wondering about Dr. Thirsk, something important came up in his schedule and he has to postpone the forum meeting thing. I quote,
"It is of great importance that astronauts should cherish the enthusiasm of these young and future space explorers, for they are the ones who shall place our country's flags all around the universe. I certainly cherish their enthusiasm and to prove it, I will keep my promise."
And I won't be on for a while because I am preparing for Space Camp. Lot's of packing to do!

UPDATE ON DR. THIRSK!!!! :D :D :D :D :D Dr. Thirsk has just notified me that he will be using my account to have the interview. For what reason I have no idea. He says he will be on sometime this weekend or next week. It will be anytime, and he could be on later in the future as well as long as I give him access to my Hab 1 account. He said that it was to save time and space for other users because he wasn't going to be on regularly. If anyone has a problem with him doing that, tell me and I'll tell him..... He doesn't know what time, so stay tuned!!!! He will set up a topic in "Von Braun's World" that says "Interview with Dr. Thirsk". :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Even if he doesn't plan on posting often, I'd be much more comfortable, and prefer greatly that he create a new account.

If he insists on using your account, I of course am not going to stop him, but I think it would be easier for some, and less confusing (esepcially in the future) for all, if he were to just create an account.

At the same time, please do let him know that he is free to contact me at any time with any questions, comments, or concerns.
