Flight Suits

I know it's a stupid poll.

My favorite is the place on the arm for your pens. Its nifty. Followed by the huge pocket on the right leg. It's big enough to hold whole bags of candy for the EDM!

I love the flightsuit!! It is so awesome and makes me feel like an astronaut! It is so awesome that I wished I could wear it all the time! But then people would've thought I was strange!

My flight suit is really big on me 'cus I got a large and i probably needed a medium. When we got ours we went up to our room to try it on. then we got downstairs and Carlos(counselors) was mad and yelling. he was like "What took you guys so long. you were just supposed to put them up, not try them on!" he was really mean that first day!

LOL I just found THE DORKIEST picture of me in my flight suit:

Man I look terrible. It was when I got home from space camp so i was very tired.

Anyway, I noticed on VanessaInSpace that the counselors went to the darker polo shirts. Maybe they are going to phase in the darker blue flight suits as well? That'd be neat, but then I'd have to buy a new one

As far as the pocket goes i like the large one on the right leg. As far the darker flight suits the counselors have been wearing them for as long as ive been going to space camp. I think its kind of a counselor distinctive thing. I wish they would go to the dark blue for campers but i doubt it.

i too like the darker flight suits but the light colored ones are cool too. but i liked the light blue polo's for the counselors better.

as for pockets, i never used either breast pocket but only the leg one. it can hold a whole bag of warheads candy!

I used all my pockets. I didn't have to carry a purse or a backpack that way!

whats the point of that stupid pocket on the bottom of the leg with the snap?

The pocket with the snap on the leg is for a flashlight. A small flashlight is standard gear given to the crew for flights.

Your welcome. The old space camp log book use to show you everything that the astronauts were issued for flight they also included scissors, a pocket knife, and sunglasses among other things. The book that showed this stuff was in the days when the log books were big.

I used the pockets for stuff like my wallett, my camera and pens but other than that i never really kept much else in their.

Its amazing how much pocket space is in those flight suits.

i could carry so much because my suit was so big on me. people were always asking me for candy in the missions. this girl from Germany had never heard of Warheads candy, so i gave her one and told her it they were good! you should've seen the look on her face! LOL it was the most sour flavor too!

Some of us snuck candy and stuff into the missions too but our counselors didnt seem to really care. I had a water bottle with me during the EDM i had it on the station and the shuttle flight deck and noone cared.
