The Food Network TV show, "Southern Fried Road Trip" features a visit to Space Camp in the second episode of the series, airing next week. Here's a clip of the show hosts suiting up for an EVA with Crew Trainer Shaggy:

Sounds like they won't be dining on the cafeteria food, though:
Space Camp, the Final Food Frontier

Fulfilling a childhood dream, Bobby and Jamie Deen are going to Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. All the astronaut training will certainly build up an appetite, which they quench with some of Alabama's best foods, including slugburgers, biscuits with cocoa gravy sauce, tomato pie and fried bologna sandwiches. (Episode: RO0102H)

Must have been filmed a while back. That's Mel with them and I don't think she's been on the floor in a while.

I don't recall the harnesses outside the Space Station for EVAs. Are those new? That could be fun. I did the harness on Enterprise a while back but never at the Space Station.

They had them at some point, I don't know when they were new, but I'm pretty sure they had them in 2013 as I heard some of our people got to do ISS EVAs (I could be wrong about that though) and I'm certain they had them in the Fall of 2014 as I personally used them on my ISS time on the LDM.

They were definitely there in 2013. They were used in the film 'Space Warriors', if you want to see what they look like -- just like the ones in the orbiter, only hanging off the side of an ISS module.

I saw the show last night. They showed the EVA, a turn in the Multi-Axis trainer and the two of them in the cockpit of the Orbiter, doing a launch and landing. For that they got their wings. They also showed a restaurant in Huntsville called Blue Plate which is supposed to have great breakfasts. I may have to give it a try in October.

The videos won't work for me -- just Food network ads over and over again no matter what I click. ???

Stay away from the burger place in Decatur though (slugburgers). Those burgers are as nasty as the name! I don't know what the appeal is for some folks. :x

Is there anywhere to see the complete episode at? My cable's on-demand doesn't even list that show...
