Well, through your good efforts, the Saturn V was amongst those chosen.

To mark the selection, Good Morning America will be broadcasting clips from the new Davidson Center on the air tomorrow morning!

Be sure to tune in!]]>Vincent@hab1.comHab1 News2008-04-20T23:42:54-05:00http://www.hab1.com/index_files/habfiles_update_international_space_camp_book_added.html#unique-entry-id-309http://www.hab1.com/index_files/habfiles_update_international_space_camp_book_added.html#unique-entry-id-309Matthew Danner, the HabFiles section has received an update!

A book was produced and given out to international Space Camp licensees. It's a very nice artifact. It has some rarely seen photos of now defunct Space Camps as well as listings of some that were not meant to be. Quite a find!

Also, pay particular attention to Page 20. Recognize the former First Kid?

Check it out! And enjoy!]]>Vincent@hab1.comSpace Related2008-04-15T20:42:59-05:00http://www.hab1.com/index_files/lucky_space_campers_see_sts_122_astronauts_speak.html#unique-entry-id-308http://www.hab1.com/index_files/lucky_space_campers_see_sts_122_astronauts_speak.html#unique-entry-id-308
The crew brought along a highlight reel of their mission and took questions from both Space Campers and NASA-folk alike!

Afterwards, the crew was gracious enough to stick around and sign autographs!

Get to it! ]]>Vincent@hab1.comSpace Camp News2008-04-06T22:46:41-05:00http://www.hab1.com/index_files/space_camp_hall_of_fame_2008_nominations_due_soon.html#unique-entry-id-305http://www.hab1.com/index_files/space_camp_hall_of_fame_2008_nominations_due_soon.html#unique-entry-id-305Nominations for the 2008 Space Camp Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony are due on April 13, 2008!

You can nominate whomever you feel best meets the criteria as outlined on the Hall of Fame Nomination Criteria page.

From there you can also submit the nomination.

Last year's inductees can be seen here.

Remember, April 13 is the last day to submit nominations!]]>Vincent@hab1.comSpace & Rocket Center News2008-03-21T23:09:06-05:00http://www.hab1.com/index_files/space_and_rocket_center_possibly_allowing_skylab_history_to_rot.html#unique-entry-id-303http://www.hab1.com/index_files/space_and_rocket_center_possibly_allowing_skylab_history_to_rot.html#unique-entry-id-303It seems the Space Center hasn't been taking care of all of their artifacts. Say it isn't so!

NASA Watch had this post the other day.

In short, if you visited the Space Center around the mid-90s, you would have been able to walk though the Skylab trainer built.

Well, it's been sitting outside the back of the Space Center for years and it seems recent efforts to protect and preserve have been thwarted by the Space Center.

There's also a swift kick at the end alleging (uh, with photographic evidence) that the USSRC has been letting people climb around Casper for a small $10,000 fee.

I can only hope that nothing is as bad as it looks from this piece and that the Space & Rocket Center curator would want to do everything in her power to preserve to the best of her abilities every piece of space history in her care. Anything less would be a true shame.]]>Vincent@hab1.comSpace Camp Discounts2008-03-18T23:41:53-05:00http://www.hab1.com/index_files/space_camp_discounts_offered_for_summer_2008.html#unique-entry-id-302http://www.hab1.com/index_files/space_camp_discounts_offered_for_summer_2008.html#unique-entry-id-302(I was going to make a joke about how, kids, all you have to do to go to Space Camp this Summer is take a credit card out of a parent's purse or wallet and go online and register, but I decided it might be in bad taste. But I'm above making such a tasteless joke that an impressionable kid might read not knowing it was a joke. So I'm glad that I didn't.)]]>
