Beyond the Stars

So I'm watching this cheesy movie from 1989 called "Beyond the Stars." It's a movie where Christian Slater wants to be an astronaut, and throughout the movie they keep talking about NASA and what not, but they keep mentioning Huntsville.

Later in the film, they go to MSFC and The Space & Rocket Center!

Martin Sheen:
I was on my way to Huntsville, Alabama so I called your dad and asked if could stop by and ask if I could take you with me. If you want to go.
Christian Slater:
Where? NASA? To the Space & Rocket Center?

They're everywhere too! They show the museum: Casper, the LEM model, Saturn V, etc. They climb around Space Camp simulators (even the UAT! No Space Camp logo was shown though)!

Worth checking out, if only for a "Hey! I've been there!" moment!

I recently added an item to my collection of Space Camp memorabilia (yes, I collect this stuff) and it's a good one!

I just got a
1986 Space Camp Program Guide!

Space Camp Cover of 1986 Brochure

Space Camp has a 1985 one, but they don't have, to the best of my knowledge, one from 1986!

Update: Actually, I should read my own website. As seen during my trip for Space Camp's 20th, they do indeed have a 1986 copy (2nd photo...it's sticking out from under a newspaper clipping)! To the best of my knowledge (really this time), they have a 1985 and 1993 that I don't, but I have a 1987 (two, I think) and a 1992 which they don't!

...Now if only I could get a 1985 guide (and an '84 guide and...)!

Good Luck Soon-to-be Counselors

A fresh new crop of counselor trainees start their training tomorrow at Space Camp.

I just want to wish you luck as they start a great new adventure! Pretty soon, it will be your job to inspire Space Campers from around the world and try to instill in them a sense of wonder and adventure for the exploration of space.

It's a great job.

Good luck!
