Probably nothing, but I guess we'll find out once this person returns

It's too bad they restrict the Adult program dates... I understand why they do so but still...

hmm...speaking of which, there is an adult ASA program that week...hmm...

Wish I could afford it right now... cannot. I'm still hoping I can go with Kemara next fall to ASA... but now that I've been "impacted" (aka, kicked out, layed off, uh... get outta here)... that's in jeopardy.

Well i would think they would atleast do something for the people at camp over new years but i guess you're right we'll have to wait till she gets back to find out.

A nice fireworks show would be good...

They dint even do fireworks on the 4th of July. Atleast the 2 years i went on the 4th they didnt.

It would be interesting to be in the middle of a mission and Mission Control call over and wish the crew a Happy New Year or do something interesting like that. I'd love to usher in the new year like that. Would be very cool.

Of course, ushing in the new year from Space would be better, but I'll take what I can get =)

It would be cool to be doing the EDM and have the new year begin during the mission. Dehydrated champagne anyone?

Yeah...i hope they do something...but they probably wont...at the very least they might use that evening to look at the stars and extend cerfew...

i will let you all know what they do when i get back

Well i would think extending the cerfew so you can ring in the new year would be the least they could do.

I hope so, but we all know that they aren't that leinient with rules like curfew.

Well that depends alot on your counselors too. When i went to Aviation Challenge Intermediate (Mach 3) and Advanced Space Academy our counselors let us stay out beyond cerfew several times. And somehow i doubt they would make you go to bed beforte midnight on new years eve.

I was in the same session as ISSpacegirl. Campers and Academy watched the ball drop at 11:00 on TV in the cafeteria (remember the time diff, so it was midnight in New York). We in ASA had the option of going to bed or staying up, so most of us stayed up and talked in the cafeteria. It wasn't too exciting. Earlier in the vening, we had a contest to dress up out counselor as a holiday icon. We in Von Braun dressed Drea up as an angel, which got lots of laughs. We won little Dollar Store goodie bags with candy and gum.

Well atleast they did something to celebrate new years its better than nothing i guess.

That's too bad there wasn't more done, but I would have loved to see the counselor dress ups!
