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
I thought it would be a good idea to add a special rank to easily identify members of the HabForum who are currently or have in the past had the delightful distinction and honor of being counselors at Space Camp and Aviation Challenge. This will make it easy for anyone… Continue reading
I don’t often mention eBay auctions here, mostly because I want to acquire things as cheaply as possible! But there is quite an exceptional auction right now. It is from the collection of Gary Beadel, a teacher who was an one of the alternates for the ill-fated 51L. Among the… Continue reading
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2004 was as good for you was it was for me. Of course, that might not be possible! After all, I got to spend a fourth of the year working at Space Camp! Regardless, here’s to hoping 2005 goes even better for all of… Continue reading
I wanted to share with everyone a photo my friend and fellow counselor this summer Stasia took of the ever popular rocket launch! I for one think they need this photo (or one just like it) in the 2006 brochure (hint, hint). Regardless, it sure is fun to look at!

Twice in one week?! Well, what can I say, I’ve made some recent additions to my collection of Space Camp memorabilia and I wanted to share. I’m nice like that! This is another Space Camp News from Spring of 1988. It’s almost solely dedicated to the opening of the now… Continue reading
When Space Camp was just a little over one year old, People Magazine ran, in their August 8, 1983 edition, a small article on Space Camp! I’ve posted it here for all to enjoy! Pictures of rocket launch and the 5DF chair, as well as the old “Zero ‘G’ Machine”… Continue reading
The Endeavor shuttle simulator Academy kids have come to know and love is leaving the TCF. But the TCF will not be devoid of an Endeavor orbiter as the current Intrepid simulator will be renamed. Still, it’s a shame. I spent more time than anyone else there this past summer…. Continue reading
