Hi Lyn's a Witchy Woman Author IconMail Icon

I maybe 57 now but I visited Space Camp in Huntsville, AL in 1993 when I was 25 years old. I love space so the park blew me away. It had Saturn 5 rockets that were built to size, a mock up of the Space Shuttle and a model of the American Space Shuttle next to the Soviet Space Shuttle (Russia did away with the USSR and became the Russian Federation DEC 1991). In fact, there were mock ups of Soviet capsules and even Soviet mission patches. I still have some of those in my photo books. While I was there, I did spin around in a version of a multi axis trainer. That was a lot of spinning!

Me visiting Space Camp 1993

I’d love to take Sung'manitu Author IconMail Icon and SandraLynn Author IconMail Icon along for the ride. I can’t say I know them well, but I was touched that Sung'manitu Author IconMail Icon sent me a merit badge before our Blogging adventure open so I’d want to do the multi axis trainer with him. I supposed I was up for more adventures when I was 25. Now that I’m 57 I don’t want to ride a roller coaster with more than one loop. Both Sung'manitu Author IconMail Icon and SandraLynn Author IconMail Icon have a sense of adventure and a good sense of humor (at least what I know about them) and for me, that’s who I’d want to try the multi axis trainer with to build team skills.

When I went to Huntsville, I went with Kathy and Dave. At the time we were attending a non-commissioned officer school in Anniston, Alabama and we did a lot of off duty stuff together. All of us were pretty easy going, easy to laugh, and hard workers.


What did it feel like? I barely remember. There was a lot of spinning, and yet, I don’t remember it being terrifying. I didn’t mind the sensation, but getting out of the trainer took a bit because your head was still spinning. That said, I don’t remember that sensation lasting long.

Other things I’d like to do at Space Camp is fly in a jet simulator, build a heat shield, and launch a rocket. Honestly, a week at Space Camp is not enough for me!

I just went to Alaska last year on a cruise so I'm going to take Princess Megan Rose Author IconMail Icon Sung'manitu Author IconMail Icon WakeUpAndLive Author IconMail Icon AmyJo-Downhill slide begins! Author IconMail Icon and a couple more folks on the cruise boat!
