International Space Camp 2003 officially starts today! Congratulations to those selected to represent your respective countries at ISC this week. And remember, it’s not just an honor, it’s an adventure! I hope everyone enjoys their trip to Space Camp as well as the United States of America.
The HabForum has reached a very impressive milestone! 100 Users! And, what’s even more impressive, the person registered while attending this week’s session of Advanced Space Academy! It’s quite fitting, I think, that the 100th user should register from camp! Very cool!
That was the message handed out on Monday by the consultants hired by the US Space & Rocket Center to figure out why camp attendance has declined steadily over the past few years.
