My family is going on vacation next week, and my parents finally consented to a little stop at the USSRC! I can't wait to visit, even if it won't be at camp!

I wish our family vacations went near the USSRC. The closest I get is... Calgary at best... which is still a gazillion kilometres away from USSRC. I did convince my parents to stop at the Miami science centre when we were vacationing there in 1997 I think.

I am moving to Houston at the end of the summer, and it took a little begging.. but I think I finally convinced my boyfriend to stop in Huntsville on the way! We have to drive through Alabama anyway, why not take a little detour :-P

Nice!

I'm flying to Toronto next Monday. Maybe I can convince the pilot to make a HUGE detour and stop in Huntsville for a few hours so I can visit the USSRC. If that doesn't work, maybe the pilot for the return flight will do it.

I can dream, can't I?

That's my long term plan! (though how long term remains to be seen)

Heck last summer when i was down ther i alm,ost applied for a job with the space and rocket center's education department i was encouraged to by the head of human resources who i met at the confrence i was at. Sounded like i might have even had a good shot at it however by the time i got home and could send the requested resume the job position had been filled.
