SpaceCamp to be Released on DVD Again
Saturday, January 24, 2004 Filed in: SpaceCamp the
Movie
Also, it appears as if the full frame version of the film that was present on the Anchor Bay release will not be present.
Still, this is good news for anyone who was thinking of overpaying for one on eBay.
The DVD can be preordered at DeepDiscountDVD for only $9.12 including shipping! Or, if you'd rather order it from Amazon, you can get it for $12.71.

24 Hour EDM's this Summer!
Thursday, January 08, 2004 Filed in: Space Camp
News
(partially,
at least)
Space Camp will have several special sessions this summer for ASA where the Extended Duration Mission will be 24 hours instead of the now shortened six hour EDM's.
Many moons ago, the EDM's were 24 hours long. Later, they were shortened to 12 hours. When the program was changed to Advanced Space Academy from Space Academy Level II, they were shortened to six hour missions.
The offering of 24 hour EDM's again is definitely a step in the right direction!
If you're interested in going, the weeks will be:
May 29 - June 5
July 3 - July 10
August 7 - August 14
In addition to normal ASA sessions, for each of these weeks, there will be one team consisting of those that will be going on a 24 hour EDM. Camp will start on Saturday and go to the following Saturday. Graduation will be at 11am on Saturday. Mission Specialists flying in and out are asked not to fly out earlier than 3pm on Saturday (since the 24 hour EDM will have a SCUBA component for MS's).
In addition to the 24 hour EDM, additional training and speakers will be provided.
To participate in one of these special sessions, you must previously have attended a Space Camp program.
With increased activity comes an increased cost. If you register for one of the 24 hour EDM sessions by March 15, it will cost $1149 (I believe the cost if you register after this date, provided there are any spots left, will be $1299).
If you previously signed up for a week under the $649 Early Bird Special and wish to change to one of these 24 hour EDM spots, it will cost an additional $300.
This is great! Hopefully, this will be available every year as an option.

Whatever it Takes to get to Space Camp

News
(It
was either that, or, "When Life Hands you Lemons..."
You can decide which is the better title).
Anyway, from Channel 19 in Huntsville comes a story of a kid who, despite being told "no" from his parents regarding sending him to camp, decided to go anyway.
Space Camp wasn't a passing whim for Tyler. To pay for the trip, he set up a lemonade stand outside a neighborhood restaurant in his Maryland hometown.
Good work, Tyler!
