As i've said many times pilot is the only track for me. I love the pressure of having to make the decisions that might save or kill the crew. I also love being the one to fly the shuttle. I love everything about being a pilot or commander. Every year i went i was in either the pilot or commander's seat for atleast one of the missions except at Ac of course where everyone gets a chancce to be a pilot.

I too love being pilot but i am trying to get all the tracks i so this year i was ms. When we were all safely back in the orbiter the canada arm broke and we couldnt stow it beleive it or not i was the only person that knew that you could jettison the arm. I was happy i kinda saved the mission although i give a round of applause to whoever found out how to do it in mocr! :D

I believe that was Erin and me who searched the books endlessly to find out how to jettison the thing...

Oops i never nnoticed that. You know you could have pointed that out before now. Finger must have slipped when i made the original signature and i just never noticed it. It will soon be corrected.

I think the only fun part of being a ps is the medical anomolies.

Everyone has their favorite track. Personally, I'd like to begin with Pilot and then experience them all at least once. That, of course, depends on finances and the US economy. I don't knock any of them until I've tried it.

Well maybe we can all go to the adult ASa together sometime. That would be cool if we were all on the same team. Plus we have wide enough intrest in tracks where we could probably do it.

I'm all for that! :)

I guess we'll have to work on that.

Yeah... very very hard. It would be pretty cool to get a few people from the boards to meet up in a couple years. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity for next year...

Well i'm sure you'll have a great time when you go back. Just wish i was going too. This forum has made me realise just how much i miss going to space camp every 2 or 3 years like i did between 91 and 98. Its been more than 4 since my last trip and i still miss being their and the people i met their,

Out of MS and Pilot, pilot is my fav. After my trip in July I'll know which is my fav for sure.

I was just thinking about something the other day. Well Payload specialist have been part of the shuttle program since its inception until verry recently. If youve noticed PS's are hardly ever on recent flights especially those to the space station. If Space Camp is trying to shift toward the ISS now what roll will the PS play since they play veryy little in our current space program?
