I received some troubling news in my inbox the other day, and it had been discussed in the forum even before that. Aviation Challenge and Space Camp has lost one of its own. Former AC Counselor Jenie Purves, callsign “Texaco,” [was] laid to rest [on Friday, February 6, 2004] at… Continue reading
On March 2, 2004, MGM Home Entertainment is going to rerelease SpaceCamp (now listed as “Space Camp”) on DVD. Unfortunately, it still looks as if there aren’t going to be any decent special features, and I’m reasonably sure it won’t be in Anamorphic widescreen. Also, it appears as if the… Continue reading

(It was either that, or, “When Life Hands you Lemons…” You can decide which is the better title). From Channel 19 in Huntsville comes a story of a kid who, despite being told “no” from his parents regarding sending him to camp, decided to go anyway. Space Camp wasn’t a… Continue reading
If you happen to tune into USA’s broadcast of Apollo 13 on February 19 (at 7pm), you’re in for a familiar sight. An article in the Huntsville Times last week reported that USA Network was down in Huntsville to tape segments for the show “Ready for the Weekend Movie.” The… Continue reading
