Well, don't have much to say, if you know me, I expect a response! hehehe, no pressure or anything....

Wow finnally someone whos been to space camp more times than me. And someone else who hasnt just been to ASA but to several programs. Welcome to the hab forum.

I've been to camp more times then you, LB206, and not just to ASA, to boot!

Well its hard to tell vincent. I dont remember ever seeing you tell when and what programs you'd been too.

Oh, I think I've mentioned it before, but you do have a point...Guess I really should create what's become a semi-standard sig displaying when I've been...

No no point really just babbling as ussual nothing new there.

when in '01 did you go to academy?
i did from april 1-april 6 of that year.

i tried for a scholarship to Academy in 1999 but didn't get it. I'm glad I waited though. ASA was way more fun than SA would have been. SCUBA and the EDM - best times I have ever had.

You'd be suprised how much fun SA can be. Maybe at the age you are now it doesnt seem like it but at the age of a SA camper youd probably enjoy it, SA has its good points like the motion cockpitsd with Endeavour and Discovery and the very acurate Atlantis cockpit which from what ive seen is actually more complete than Enterprise was. Sure you didnt have the scuba and the missions are shorter but it was still a great program.

If I had gone to SA I most likely would not have gotten to go back at all. My parents would have had to pay for it and would not do it again. I have paid for all of my trips. For the distance I have to travel to camp SA would not have been a good choice. I would have gotten more from ASA. I live over 2000 miles from space camp and that is direct. I takes a day to fly to space camp inncluding conections. In 2002 I left at 8am and got to Alabama after 6pm.

Well ok in your case it probably was best the way you went then. I was greatful i got to go to all 3 of the space camp programs and one of the AC programs so i got a nice overview of space camp as a whole.

I went to ASA 2 times and SA once and i still think SA was awesome. You learn more about space history and SA and also get to be a kid more. It was great!

yeah, i really enjoyed SA. i havent been to ASA yet to compare the two, but it was fun and i definitely learned a lot.

Well i can almost guarantee youll love ASA i dont know anyone who has gone and hasnt loved it. You'll love it i know i sure did.
