Things they should change at camp
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2010 12:19 pm
I think a lot of people on the forum would agree with me that changes should be made at camp. I think they should change the mission format to this:
7 Flight Controllers
4 shuttle astronauts
3 soyuz/station astronauts
This way, with 2 missions, everyone gets to fly in space. The 4 shuttle astronauts could be commander, pilot, and 2 mission specialists. They soyuz ones could run the station, because a lot of people complained about how boring the roles on the station were.
The next change I think they should make probably only affects me (out of everyone on the forum, that is), but the rule they have is unnecessary. I think they should relax their medical restrictions on diving. There are places that let asthmatics, epileptics, and diabetics dive, and even get certified if it's well controlled. I think the new rule they should have is that the trainee should decide with their doctor if they are fit to dive or not. The reasons on the form about not being allowed to dive with asthma are not a risk at all in a 20' pool. I also think the rule is everything space camp is not. The point of it is to let people live their dreams, without unnecessary medical restrictions. If I have to hate anything about camp, it's probably this rule.
What other changes do you think they should make?
I'm not trying to be rude or immature, I just want to express my opinion and hear those of everyone else.
