The HabForum

You've got a point there. But for me, it was more interesting with more people, since you don't have counselors filling in positions or empty positions. Though, I must admit it was fun to have two counselors as the pilot and commander. They tried to land the orbiter upside down.

yea, hes right christian, but i think about big team from this year will always leave an impression among the counselors, especially jeremy and casey...

lol.. i wish we could of had someone fill in for ricky this year... but then again he was ok on some of the missions, just a pain the other times... oh well, still fun times

I know what you mean...I don't know what possessed me and Siobhan to suggest him as Capcom for the EDM. We just wanted him somewhere where he couldn't mess things up. 'Course, we didn't realize we'd have to listen to him talking all mission long....I don't know who yelled at Ricky more, me or Siobhan.

Then again, some of the time, I yelled at Ricky and there was nothing wrong going on...like when we started our descent, and the Earth kept switching sides on the orbiter....I screamed at Ricky, "Ricky what's going on? If this is your fault, I'm taking this thing and pointing it at Houston!" I had no idea that was supposed to happen since we really didn't get a EDM briefing and I'd only done the AOA landings.

lol... reason he ended up in that position for EDM was so that me and nate could be on station together without him bugging us cuz he didnt fit anywhere else since i turned down the scuba for the EDM and took that position on station... so yall took him for me and nate... lol... thanks... we had a lotta fun in station then chris, nate, and me deff had too much fun with wilson....

2003 must have been a year of small teams because a lot of people i've talked to that went that year had teams of less than 10 including me. we had 8 that year and ben fleer and becky (used to be baxter can't remember what it is now) were our counselors.

Wait, a minute that was 2002 not 2003, sorry!! I forgot that this past summer('04) i didn't go to camp because i was in mexico. 2003 we actually had a team of 18 and brent was our counselor most of the time.

I think there are small teams every year. In 2000 I was on a team of 9 and in 2001 a team of four, including me... yes, its possible. lol

Whoa, 4? How did you guys fill out all those positions? I'm assuming you guys didn't have Station for your EDM...

No, no station. If i remember correctly we were all in orbiter. We filled all the important positions by letting the counselors play. Actually now that i think about it we might have done a brief rotation into the station. Eh i dunno the point is that its possible.

wow ive never been on a small team but then again ive always gone in the summer where every team is filled up

Now, why on Earth would you turn down the EDM SCUBA?? It was so much fun while it lasted. What could be cooler than being able to a) talk underwater, b) wear glasses underwater, and c) wear the wicked super-wedgie bubble helmet that weighs a tonne... it was just far too amazing for words.

It's nice to know they still do the EDM SCUBA though, I thought I had ruined it for everyone.

Before Jenni can reply, I'll answer this one in a word . . . Nate . . . the two of them were pretty much joined at the hip, and wanted to be in the same place for the EDM.

Oh dear... I left my beau at home when I went to Space Camp. Even if he were there, I still wouldn't pass up the SCUBA EVA! (Mind you, I am probably forbidden from trying the SCUBA EVA ever again, but I would beg them to let me try!)

When I did the scuba eva I didnt do my oxygen right so I felt really sick afterwards.....one time is enough for me.

i didnt bring him to camp with me though you guys, i met him there... and since he lives in hawaii and i live in florida, i think thats as far apart as you can get, so i wanted to spend as much time as i could with him, and im glad i passes the scuba up cuz station was so much fun with him... so now i got those memories to hold onto until i can see him again... if only parents would stop being so closed minded...

i gotta get him to look at this forum and start posting here.... he needs to be in the convo...

thanx for giving that up honey, that was so fun in station.

o and when u said u did ur oxygen wrong and felt bad, u may have gotten a slight case of the bends

no problem sweetie, that was way more fun than the SCUBA for the EDM could have ever been.... hopefully we can both go back this summer and be on the same track or go to another camp 2gether
