Differences between 2003 and 2011?

OK. Since I haven't been to adult ASA since 2003, can anyone tell me what kind of changes have happened to the program over the years...especially the MS track. I hope I won't be bored since I've been 3 times already (not counting '91).

In 2003, we were the first to play with the Lego Mindstorms. Supposedly, my group's name (Spider) is on a plaque in the classroom for winning the competition.

I will miss Irene and her tour of the museum archives. She was so wonderful at what she did.

The TCF... err... whatever they're calling it now, has been completely rearranged and a whole bunch of ISS modules have been added.

The Saturn V has been moved indoors to its own building, similar to what they have at KSC. I haven't seen it at full completion; the photos look incredible!

The main entrance to the USSRC has been moved to the new Saturn V building, formally known as the Davidson Center.

Don't expect ANYTHING to be where it was, but I do hope you'll have time to find it all again.

I just wanted to say that I was able to switch my track to Pilot! I'm so excited! Here's to doing new things.....Now, just keep your fingers crossed that the session doesn't get canceled.

You know, I think it's weird that the alumni 8-day got canceled. Didn't they start taking reservations in March? You'd think they would wait until at least August before they decided they didn't have enough people!

When I was at 8-Day back in 2004 they were already taking reservations for the next year from the people who were presently at the 8-day camp. That means they were taking reservations up to a year in advance!

I see they removed the 8-day camp from the website too... never a good sign. It was there earlier this year, I checked... although no dates were listed. It must have been removed when they released the 2011-2012 dates.
