My wife -- for my 35th birthday -- is fulfilling a childhood fantasy of mine. I get to go Space Camp! In September, I'm off for my 3-day adventure. It was a total surprise and I have no idea what to expect. So here go a bunch of questions...
1) Is there a schedule/agenda for the weekend posted online?
2) I plan on arriving on Thursday to get a jump on exploring -- his a half day enough?
3) When should I plan to leave on Sunday?
4) Typical first timer/old timer ratio for the 3 day?
5) I'm a pilot and have GOT to land the shuttle on one of the missions -- who do I have to bribe to get that slot
6) What am I not asking about that a first timer should know?
Thanks for your help!

Congratulations!
1) I don't think so, but some of the counselors here may be able to give you a rough agenda
2) A half day will help you get your bearings and explore a bit, but I guess it depends on the amount of detail you like to study.
3) The program usually ends in the early afternoon (someone please back me up on this), but afterwords you can see the museum some more.
4) I have no idea.
5) Your teammates. Let everyone know that's what you want to do and be really nice
Also, how are you getting here?

Woot - congratulations and lucky you! I second Hotdog's recommendation of reading through this section of the forum for tips and hints. I've never been to the 3-day camp before so I don't have much advice to offer.
