Hey Everyone!

Six days after I return from my summer at Space Camp Turkey, Wally Schirra will be at the US Space and Rocket Center for the 2nd Apollo/Saturn V Reunion. I went last summer and it was a blast. I suggest everyone in the area to come! Does anyone live near Huntsville that will be able to go? I just bought my ticket so will definitly be there. It's going to be great, check it out at https://register.spacecamp.com/tick

Book Signings: "The Real Space Cowboys", by Ed Buckbee and Wally Schirra

Sweet! Ed Buckbee returns to the USSRC!

I'm glad you guys posted that! I am going to try and be there. As of right now I am scheduled to go out of town starting the 28th, so I am hoping that my trip doesn't get bumped up a week! Now I just need to get the book.

hmmm...i might just have to get a ticket.

I know that they will be selling the book there, I plan on picking up a copy, the synopsis on Amazon sounds really interesting!

that sounds so sweet, i cant believe that im actually going to be in huntsville so i can go! so yeah, ill be there. do i have to buy the ticket online though or can i get it there, im going to the space and rocket center the 17th so maybe i could just buy one there then?

It is a very interesting book, if I must say so myself.

Anyway, the description of this event said 'all simulators open'. What does this mean? The Space Camp simulators are open to the public? Wow... I wish I lived closer to Huntsville.

I know that last summer just showing up wasnt a problem, so I would bet it wouldn't be this year. I do know if you book in advanced you get a badge with your name on it.

I won't be able to make the Huntsville gig, but Buckbee and Schirra will be at the astronaut autograph convention I'm going to this weekend, so I look forward to meeting them and picking up the book!

I would so be there if i had any money whatsoever. I could afford the ticket its just the transportation. I do expect pictures from all of you though.

Alright.....I have finally decided on going to this thing. The decision was, of course, thanks to danner's persuasive IMs.

Ha Ha, I'm glad you are coming. Did you find a hotel? What time does your flight get in?

Oh Im driving...and Im SO not excited about it but at least I will have a car for the three days im in huntsville. Not really sure what im going to do for the other two days in there, but Ill figure that out later. anyway I get in on the 26th and im leaving the 29th to drive the 600 miles back home...by myself. this could prove interesting. Im pretty sure Im staying at the red carpet inn because its dirt cheap and I have to pretty much pay for all of this myself.

well have fun

I got my ticket!!! Who knows Sara, maybe you could butter up some college student at UAH to let you crash with them a few nights.

aw dangit! of course its the saturday i leave for home after SpaceACADEMY!!!!!! my counselor roderick was supposed to help shirra get aquainted with everyone

it was a lot of fun, i didnt take any pictures though

I forgot mine too, but Josh had his so I might get a few pictures from him.

Good Times, I will be back next year for the next one!
