Filming for Space Warriors is indeed underway!

Here’s the Training Center Floor last night:

While I was hanging around “the set,” it seemed like a lot of “hurry up and wait” was going on as shots were being planned out and equipment moved.

Obviously some impact on the camp programs is occurring.  I helped a Space Camp manager and a Space Warriors crew member move two 5DF chairs off the TCF and onto the museum floor in front of Intrepid so a team’s EVA could be performed.  But any inconveniences at such a level seem minor, at worst.

It should be quite interesting to see the finished product!

“Space Warriors,” the move getting ready to shoot at Space Camp, is going to have a casting call for roles in the film!

The Huntsville Times article has all of the details!  The where, when, and how to possibly get an appointment.

Keep in mind that this is not a call for extras–that will be made at a later date.  If you want an actual audition for a possible role in the movie, this is for you!

I mentioned it when it aired (nine years ago), but I finally have a clip of the Space Camp reference from The Simpsons.

The reference occurs near the beginning if the episode, “I’m Spelling as Fast as I Can.”  This was the twelfth episode of the fourteenth season of The Simpsons.

Update: 20th Century Fox seems to have decided that 21 seconds from the Simpsons is too much for YouTube.  So much for fair use.  Check out the episode though if you want to see it for yourself.
