Gaduation

Trevis shared his evaluation of the Aldrin team. The kids received their diplomas. We will find out if anyone achieved any Space Camp awards for this week's participation.

Story Musgrave

We listened to astronaut Story Musgrave share his 30 plus years experience with NASA. There were no astronauts when Story was a kid. He grew up on a farm and became the best mechanic he could be. Story encouraged the kids to make a plan, practice that plan and do your best to perfect the plan.

Every time Story entered space he had to trust his teammates. Trust that they were doing their best job so that the each mission was safe. As an astronaut, Story listened and followed directions from the command center. The command center runs the mission, not the astronaut.

Please check out Story's website and share your thoughts.

Rock Climbing

Thursday, July 26

Thursday is our last day at Space Camp. The kids have a busy schedule before we board our plane.

After packing and breakfast the kids participated in Strange Science activities, gift shopping for our moms', family and friends, rock climbing, a second Discovery Mission, rocket launch, 1/6th chair simulator, listened to Story Musgrave astronaut, graduation, and then home!

Swimming

We enjoyed watching the kids play "Sharks" in the water.

It was also fun to watch some teachers practice water rescue stunts from the tower. The kids are making friends!
