Shiny Space Camp Turkey LogoWhile Space Camp periodically has an astronaut or two drop by for a visit, Space Camp Turkey has seen its share of astronauts as well.

Cosmonaut Dorin Prunariu and astronaut Shannon Lucid made appearances this past August and, most recently, astronaut Steve Lindsey stopped by for a visit.

He won’t be the last though.  Space Camp Turkey will be seeing more visits from the space-faring portion of our population next year!

Space Camp Alumni AndiEven if you don’t want to sign up for a MySpace account, I would like to stress that you should definitely go check out the Space Camp “Alumni Andy” page!

The blog is an especially good read (and not just because this site was mentioned)!

In it are some very good details (with many more to come, I’m sure, so keep reading) including:

Space Camp has registered spacecampalumni.com to reach out to alumni (it’s about time…they have a start, at least).

Also, there’s a sweepstakes you can enter to get a free trip to camp (or a shiny 25th anniversary silicone bracelet, at the very least).

But you’ll have to visit the blog for that link!

After years of being a possibility, the book that Jerry Bruckheimer’s production company optioned looks like it’s finally going to be made into a  major motion picture!

Details are scant for now, other than a working title of “Einstein’s Children.”

I very much hope that it’s still going to be at Space Camp and that they won’t change it to some generic science camp for the movie.

Wow, it’s amazing how fast time flies when one is at work for 5-7 days per week!

Things have finally settled down and boy have I missed some things!

First, I’ve made links in the Programs section to the write-ups that SpaceCanada has been so kinds to do thus far!  I think they provide great overviews of the programs for those that haven’t yet had the privilege of going to Space Camp!

I thank her very much for these fine contributions to this site!

Also,  the rumors were true: Space Camp has redesigned their website.  Personally, I think the old version was a bit shinier, but this one is nice too.

Space Camp 25th Anniversary LogoSpace Camp’s 25th anniversary is next year! The big quarter-century mark!

And to celebrate, they’re making some big plans!

You can visit the 25th Anniversary Site to see what they’re kicking around so far, including alumni reunion dates!

Also, be sure to register as an alumnus to make your interest known and let Space Camp know what you’ve been up to.

And I’ll be sure to report more details as I learn them.
