Hi! I went to ISC two weeks ago and I loved it. Our team had a lot of fun in the little cinema at the museum. They showed there a movie with the song 'it's time for courage'. I searched the internet because I wanted to download it, but nowhere to find.
If there is someone who knows where to find it, please tell me.

A time for courage is the movie that they show in the begining of the museum, if you start from where the general public starts from. There is usually some question about it in space bowl or the museum hunt.

And the question is always who does the intro for "A Time for Courage"? Well the answer is Jan Davis just in case you didn't know. BTW, I don't think you want to listen to me type out the whole song so I will spare you.

The museum hunt question is what are the first 6 words though nobody but sara ever remembers it so its not like anybody gets that one right well we did but just cause the kid had been 10 times lol. But i dont remember seeing that one this year.

Anyways, its usless trying to get it on the internet. After I spent almost 5 hours looking for it last summer, i've concluded that there has never been a digital copy of it. However, if i take my video camera with me next year, i'll be sure to film the whole thing, if i can find the time :-D

Thanks for the comments
the first six words are something like this:
A sleepy mill tow, all way down in Dixie ( this are more than six words, I know)
And Space Nerd, i was on Tsiolkovsky, i was a MS. i was an international student, the girl from the Netherlands. Maybe you remember me, maybe you don't. I must say, I don;t know who you are right now, maybe when you say your name I will think: 'O of course!'
Drummrolz, if you can film it, can you send me a copy? that would be great.

"In a sleepy milltown way down in Dixie cotton fields as far as the eye can see" something like that....

I know where to get (part) of A Time For Courage!!! I do, I searched and searched and found the first 30 seconds of it, finally! This was ages ago, but I bookmarked it, and I'm looking for the full version of it because(And I'm not ashamed to admit this) I LOVE A Time For Courage! I have NO problem with sitting through it for an hour straight!... Which I've done... A few times, accually... but that was not so much to watch the movie, but getting away from noise/hide&Seek/sleepy time during museum time... Those benches make really nice beds, by the way, MUCH better than cement and a lumpy back-pack!... but yeah, I love it... It's so stupid it's funny, like "Finian's Rainbow", and it's touchingly stupid too... I like doing interprative dances to it as well! :lol: I'm totally insane, I swear to God... but yeah, the clip!!!

To view it, you need Quicktime.

I don't think I've ever seen the video before, but the first 30 seconds looks cool.

The lady who wrote and performed the song is Tina Swindell (not sure on the spelling of her last name) but she is an employee at Marshall Space Flight Center. That's about all the info I have on her.

Sorry,
Wes
