Oh, that sounds like a great story. Gerdie's a gem, too.

I would probably love Backtalk then! I just shared the story of the almost-doom of STS-41-41-D due to a giant peesicle forming on the orbiter on Gerdie's post. Good times.

Cool! I will have to go exploring over there. I've not been on Backtalk much. I did reply to the movies post earlier today. I'm bummed I missed out on most of the week. I'm a huge space geek.

Ew, ew, ew! We had two posts about space toilet this week. It doesn't seem like this guy did his research.

Yes! Adult camp is awesome! And relatively reasonably priced too! As I posted below, my stepdad went while I was working there. I could get discounts for damily members and my mom bought him a session for Christmas one year. He absolutely loved it! If you're at all interested you should go. I wholeheartedly recommend…

Yes! It is totally a thing! They have both weekend camps and weeklong camps, just like for the kids. They're a total blast too. I just checked and it looks like they're currently only advertising 3 and 4 day Adult Space Academy sessions, but when I w a s there they had full weeklong ones too. Might be that they only…

There's so much of this I want to comment on... and yet, I don't know where to start. Bravo. You win. Everyone go home!

Wait, space camp for grown ups? How did I not know this was a thing?!?

THIS IS GOOD AND NEEDS MORE STARS

Wow. Just Wow.

This story comes, as do most of my better ones, from my time working at Space Camp. I was working an adult weeklong camp during the off season and it came to the time of week when the campers participated in their extended mission which was eight hours long. I was working the SpaceHab area which is the self contained…

I couldn't agree more. I remember there was one point where there was a revamp in the system, and for a little bit it was hard to tell what had and hadn't been "unpinked" (the predecessor to gray). I responded to something I thought was already visible, because at that point responses did nothing to change the…

I think I might change my name to "dismiss that shit" just so people can get the message.

MND, feel free to jump in if you think I'm wrong, but this is kind of how it worked in the old system. If we had people who were responding to dumb comments from the pinks, we called them out on that shit. You could lose your star if you engaged with too many idiots in the pinks back in the days y'all are always…

Hear, hear. Sweet Jesus, HEAR.
