Dislike of Space Camp

Post by orion8 »

The following is a post from my sister (Kimberly, 15) on why she hates Space Camp:
Kimberly wrote:Why I Dont Like Space Camp

I dont like Space Camp because:

1. I've never liked to learn about space. It's hard to learn with all those light years and the Space Shuttle. What's with all those buttons? I have a very bad memory. There's no way I could memorize what they all do.

2. I'm not good under pressure(the simulator). When things like shuttles catch on fire, how am I supposed to do what I should if I panic?!

3. I have a weak stomach. I can't even go on a roller coaster without wanting to throw up. So how am I supposed to go on the Space Shot? Or for that matter the spinny chair?

4. I get homesick. I'm 15 and have never been to a camp for that reason. I went on a weekend trip and felt homesick.

5. My brother will not shut up about it. Ever since I was born pretty much, he's been getting brochures. "One day I'll go, even if I'm an adult." Well, last year he went to ASA. Every day, story after storyabout Carlos the counselor, and his teammates, Amy Summar, and Jarrett.

6. The movie Space Camp is just stupid. My brother, Matt, wonders why I dont like it. "It's Space Camp dog-gone it!" He says I just don't understand. Why doesn't he understand?! SPACE CAMP IS STUPID AND I'LL NEVER GO!! end of story!

I was being sarcastic Matt. I was saying it jokingly since your sister made it verry clear how she felt about space camp.

Heres what you do you tie them down and force them to watch space camp the movie and make a slide show of your space camp pictures force them to watch till they love space camp or kill you whichever comes first.

On the trip back go through every single detail about camp from what you ate every meal to what time you went to bed, etc.
