The Simpsons References Space Camp

On the Simpons this evening, Space Camp was mentioned.

Bart: "How was your summer, Nelson?"
Nelson: "Sucked."
Bart: "What'd you do?"
Nelson: "Space Camp."

okay...so it's not the most flattering reference regarding camp. But it was Nelson saying it, so naturally we can't take personally what a fictional cartoon bully says.

Still. Anytime Simpsons references anything, whatever was referenced should be flattered!

Searching for...

Well, not Bobby Fischer, but Space Camp is currently looking for someone who attended a Space Camp program on March 12, 1998. This should have been during Week 22 (give or take a week).

If you have, please contact me (my first name [Vincent, of course] at hab1.com) and I'll put them in contact with you.

If you witnessed the tragedy

Just thought I'd throw the following info up here (since one never knows):

If you witnessed the events as they unfolded live yesterday and have photos, video footage, or any other info that might be helpful in the investigation of Columbia's demise, please call NASA at
281-483-3388.

...Even if you don't think what you have might be particularly useful, it may also prove to NASA's very trained eyes to be
very useful.

A New Day

Yesterday was a tragedy, but today is a new day. A day that has not seen the demise of an orbiter and her crew. A day such as this must surely be a better day.

...But the memory of such horrible events lingers, and the pain, shock, and horror of such an event will not subside in the near future.

The best everyone can do at this point is to never forget these brave men and women who so nobly served and believed in a program that the general public hasn't always. Perhaps some good can come from this horrible, horrible event someday. Perhaps.

In the meantime, keep your eyes glued to the TV screens, and let us hope they get to the bottom of this sooner rather than later.
