Tisk, Tisk Space & Rocket Center

& Rocket Center News
It seems the Space
Center hasn't been taking care of all of their
artifacts. Say it isn't so!
NASA Watch had this post the other day.
In short, if you visited the Space Center around the mid-90s, you would have been able to walk though the Skylab trainer built.
Well, it's been sitting outside the back of the Space Center for years and it seems recent efforts to protect and preserve have been thwarted by the Space Center.
There's also a swift kick at the end alleging (uh, with photographic evidence) that the USSRC has been letting people climb around Casper for a small $10,000 fee.
I can only hope that nothing is as bad as it looks from this piece and that the Space & Rocket Center curator would want to do everything in her power to preserve to the best of her abilities every piece of space history in her care. Anything less would be a true shame.

Space Camp Discounts Galore!

Discounts
I just today received in my inbox some enticing
offers for anyone who signs up soon for a weeklong
session of Space Camp!
Currently we are offering a $200 discount for all 8-day programs including: Space Academy, Advanced Space Academy, Mach II and Mach III and X-Camp...Enter promotional code SPR8 when you complete your registration. Click here to Register NOW!. Hurry, discount ends May 15, 2008!
If you're going to Space Camp or Mach I with a friend, you can get a $100 discount when you call. They call it an "alumni discount." I'm not sure how that works, exactly. I guess presumably you're going back with someone that was on your team during a previous session. They tell you to call (1-800-63-SPACE, of course) for that one, so you can ask for a clarification.
Finally, new campers to Space Camp or Aviation Challenge Mach I can receive either a $150 gift certificate to the gift shop, an iPod Shuffle with a thumb drive, or a flight suit when you sign up with the promo code EDGE. This discount also expires on May 15th.
Register online to use the promo codes without ever having to speak to another human being! Now that's convenience!
