"Space Camp" Required to Change Name

...The band, not the camp!

I've been wondering about this one for a while, myself. It seems Space Camp (the camp, not the band) finally got around to saying something about it!

From the band's
website:

This is the home page of the band formerly known as Space Camp. Sadly, the band is being forced to change its' [sic] name by Space Camp in Alabama, (you know, where the kids go to be astronauts...). This week, the band recieved [sic] a letter demanding we make this change. Since we are good natured most of the time and don't want to rattle the cages of the United States Space Camp, we will be renaming the group. What's really in a name anyway? All of our current tour dates remain current, but will not be played under the handle "Space Camp."

So there you have it.

I've updated the HabPhotos section with more photos! Courtesy of Matthew Danner, these photos are straight from Space Camp Turkey (with more to come)!

We all thank you, Matthew!


Welcome to the New Hab1.com

If you're here, that must mean that hab1.com is now pointing to its new home!

Either that, or you just got here (for the time being) by going to hab1.vazzo.com

Either way, welcome! I even think I got all of the bugs worked out! How about that?!

Enjoy!

USSRC Web Cam

USSRC Web Cam Still
It seems as if the USSRC has installed a Web Cam in Rocket Park! And it's a pretty good one, at that!

The thing updates in real time so you can even see visitors and campers touring the park!

Additionally, they are in the process of moving the Saturn V for restoration...check out the crane!


More Turkey, Please

Matthew Danner has again updated his blog detailing more adventures from Space Camp Turkey!

From his most recent update:

Three new counselors have arrived: Connie, Jon and Audrey. Connie arrived a little over a week ago, Audrey arrived this week and Jon just arrived today. Connie is from California, Jon is from Canada and Audrey is from California. Audrey and Connie are former Space Camp California Counselors.

For the record...

It was exactly one year ago today that, having completed training, I became a U.S. Space Academy Counselor. That was truly a great day.

*sigh*

USSRC 2004 Annual Report Published

ussrcFinancials
The Space & Rocket Center has had posted online their 2004 annual report. It's pretty interesting, so I wanted to make sure everyone who came by here had the opportunity to view it. It has some pretty interesting data. Revenue reports, expenses, etc. It also contains a mention of parties from Germany, Mexico, Australia, Malaysia, and Korea interested in becoming Space Camp licensees!

Additionally, scattered throughout the report are blurbs on great alumni doing great things. Included among them, of course, is our first alumni astronaut, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger!
