The HabForum

I remember that we made Mary Beth (whom I think was both our day and night counselor) cry also.

I also remember the AC kids calling us smurfs because of our flight suits (this was after we called them communists)

Looking back at pictures of the hab, first two thoughts that came to my mind were

1. This place is like a prison (Alcatraz) due to the strict regulations

2. I remember that several times during ASA I was thinking in my head just two words: WING COMMANDER (the computer game).

oomg i felt the SAME way. it was scarry, on the last night we were filling out those evaluations, and we were on the 1st floor of the hab and i was laying on the floor writing and one of my friends was there and our counselor, and some other counselor went out some door and the alarms went off and the secruity ppl came, oh my god, i screamed so loud, it was scarry. but it was nothing, so it was kinda funny after.
and the fence going around, that made me feel like i was in jail. LMAO and the guard rails on the beds, i got my head stuck in it so they had to go get a counselor in the middle of the night to get my head free, funny times

Yeah we got out night counseler to come as well as our day counseler it was cool to have them both there. We had alot of fun and i will most definitly never forget it.

Well, space camp is all about living in space, and living in space, i'm sure, can feel like a prison sometimes. I mean, confining space, not being able to leave, etc. the hab is designed to simulate a space station environment.

I never thought of it as a prison. It is a little bare bones though.

the inside of the hab is very "gray" colored. this may contribute to the prison-like feel.

Yeah...that and (unless the story I heard was just a story) the guy who designed it was a guy who usually makes his money as an architect by designing prisions!

I'd never heard that

is the hab in FL an exact replica of the one in AL?

I thought id seen an artist conception thast looked like hab 1 in alabama but the btochire describes the rooms more like the ones in hab 2 in alabama.

on the outside it looks exactly the same

ExACTLY THE SAME AS HAB 1 OR HAB 2?

According to a friend of mine who went to both florida and alabama he says the hab in florida is identical to hab 1 on the outside and verry similar to hab 2 on the inside.

The Alabama one is better! (even though I havn't been to Flordia)! I had the buck furthest from the door on top of the lockers!! I loved my bed!!! I miss my bed!!! I want to go back!!!

I know people miss space camp but ive never heard of anyone missing their bed at space camp.

I would look at the pictures of the Hab on the space camp website and I'd tell my parent's "that's my bed" before I was even sure I was going. When I got to camp I ran up to get my bed!!! I got the one I wanted and was so happy!!! I had wanted it forever!!!!

I never had the one above the lockers it was always taken when i got their.

You gotta get their fast!!! I had wanted it so bad I probably would of bought it of whoever got it!!!

The one in Florida resembles Hab1, but it's not an exact replica or anything...

Hab1 is awesome. It makes the space camp expierence even better. I love walking into it and looking up. I would think "WOW! I finally made it. I'm at Space CAmp! I'm actually at Space Camp!!!" I can not wait to get back there!!!!!
