Well i got both. I gpot the space bowl tshirt fpor being on the winning team then i got the area 51 tshirt by accident. When our counselor gave me my ASA tshirt he accidently gave me an Area 51 shirt. And an older one at that aparently the design had been recently changed. I didnt even notice it was diffrent till graduation day when ouyr whole team wore our shirts to graduation.

I never bought a flightsuit because I would have no use for it.

I was suprised how many uses i found for my flight suit after camp. Actually i had my first flight suit several years before i went to camp. I used it for a book rebort on a John Glenn Biography one time where we had to dress up as the person we read about. Then working at the local space museum in later years i wore my flight suit when i was working with the museum's camp programs. Then sometimes i just wore it for fun especially when i was younger i use to wear it and play astronaut or when i was watching Space Camp.

Your not the only one. Heck i use to sleep in it to be like the astronauts. Did you ever put a chair on its baclo and sit in it to pretend you were launching?

sure did!!

in fact, after watching apollo 13, i would "build" an apollo capsule in the living room out of blankets strung over just about anything... inside were three chairs on their backs and the layout was alot like the real capsule. i made panels out of card board and drew buttons on them!

also i would make a makeshift capsule on top of the dryer in the laundry room. i would go in there and spend all day inside like a real astronaut! I was crazy!! i would even eat in there!!

I use to have a cardboard capsule my grandmother found in a toy catalog. It had bttons and stuff painted on the inside of it. I'd take a chair in their and put it on its back and have a can of spray cheese for space food. I spent several nights sleeping in that capsule. I used it so often it just eventually fell apart. Ialso use to have a kids space suit it was white with a red stripe on one of the sleaves and a helmet that went with it. I also had a NASA backpack walkie talkie and a hand held one as well. I was such a space geek as a kid.

i made a cardboard capsule out of refrigerator boxes my dad brought home from work. I design it on paper, outline the pieces with a pen. My mom cut them out with an exacto knife, and i glued them together with a hot glue gun. Then i drew dials, switches, knobs, etc. It was so much fun!!

I use to have bunkbeds when my brother and i shared a room. Well when he got hisown room and the bottom bunk was moved to his room. I turned the space underneath the top bunk into a space capsule of sorts puttng up a sheet to cover it and putting stuff inside to make it look spacey.

No you're definately not the only one. We're all insane here we're just waiting for the white jacketed men with the butterfly nets to come and get us.

So that's who's at the door!!

Yep most likely thats whos at the door. Go answer it the men are verry nice. They'll give you a nice new but verry tight jacket and a nice room to stay im. It doesnt have any furniture but its ok because the walls and floor are all padded. And you'll get to eat soft food by squeezing it out of a tube just like the astronauts.
