I’ve updated the HabFiles section of the site with an article from the June/July 1992 issue of Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine! It’s a pretty good article, rife with pictures and mentions of early 1990s Space Camp. All campers in the eight-day version, “U.S. Space Academy Level II,” cap off… Continue reading
