Space Camp





My sister and I dreamed of being astronauts growing up and when the movie Space Camp came out in the 80s - going to Space Camp became a dream.  It never happened as kids, but they have a suit Space Camp too and so - we went.









We got to build rockets and heat shields, work at Mission Control as EECOM and Flight director, got to work on the Skylab and lunar surface doing EVAs in our simulated launches, as well as enjoying the simulations of the multi axis trainer and the 1/6th gravity chair.






We met some great folks while there and formed a great team Magellan.  It was a great weekend and despite not likely ever going to space, this was a pretty good second.
