USSRC on TLC's...Dating Story?!

So I was flipping through the channels and I thought I saw some rockets out a window on the screen. Not just any rockets though, but USSRC rockets!

Sure enough, TLC's show, "A Dating Story" was at the USSRC!

It's on right now as I write this (1:20EST). If you're on the west coast, you can probably catch it in just under 3 hours.

If you catch this too late (and since the show only has 10 minutes left, you probably will), it might be rerun later. Then again, they seem to curn these shows out one after another, so perhaps not...

It also must have been shot a while ago becasue the Columbia simulator was still on the TCF.

At any rate, it's a fun watch!

Cheap Admission to P/C at Space Camp Canada?

I don't usually mention Space Camp related auctions on eBay on the front page, but, then again, I've never seen someone auctioning off a voucher to attend Parent/Child Space Camp in August in Laval, Quebec!

If you've had any desire to go to Space Camp Canda, this is probably as good of a chance as any, and I truly believe that the reserve is low (as the seller claimed).

Interested or not, it's
fun to look at.

Update: At $100.00 Canadian (about $70US), the reserve for this auction has been met! That's one cheap trip for two to Space Camp!

Update: The auction closed for $113.51 Canadian or approx. $83US! That's a very cheap trip to camp!

Joel is Gone!

It was posted in the HabForum and I thought it was worth noting here that Joel Walsh (see here if you don't know who I'm talking about) has left Space Camp!

Joel was truly an institution at camp! Virtually every time I went there, there was Joel. Yes, while Space Camp is an everchanging machine, Joel was one of its constants.

Until now.

Best of luck to him in all of his future endeavors though!

More from Turkey

Nathalie and Tony are back with more from Turkey, which you can check out here. And if you want to see a (bad) photo of an SSMT Nathalie mentioned (perhaps even the SSMT mentioned) in here post, you can see it here.

Update: Photos are now up!

In other news, Space Camp Turkey has seen 20,000 kids go through its doors since it first opened three years ago. An article on that can be read
here.
