Local Student Graduates from Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center
Local Student Graduates From Space Camp At The U.S. Space & Rocket Center Posted by TBN(Staff) On 08/27/2021 HUNTSVILLE, Al. – Lila Proulx of Leonardtown, MD recently attended Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, home of Space Camp®, Space Camp® Robotics™, Aviation Challenge® and U.S. Cyber Camp®. The Rocket Center is a Smithsonian Affiliate and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Official Visitor Center. The weeklong educational program promotes science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), while training students and with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem solving. This program is specifically designed for trainees who have a passion for space exploration. Lila spent the week training with a team that flew a simulated space mission to the International Space Station (ISS), the Moon or Mars. The crew participated in experiments and successfully completed an extra-vehicular activity (EVA), or spacewalk. Lila and crew returned to earth in time to graduate with honors. Space Camp is located in Huntsville, Alabama, and uses astronaut training techniques to engage trainees in real-world applications of STEM subjects. Students sleep in quarters designed to resemble the ISS and train in simulators like those used by NASA. Almost 1 million trainees have graduated from a Space Camp® program since its inception in 1982, including European Space Agency astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti and NASA astronauts Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, Dr. Kate Rubins, Dr. Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Christina Koch, who set the record for the longest duration space flight by a female. Children and teachers from all 50 states and almost 150 international locations have attended a Space Camp® program.

What Is Space Camp?
What is Space Camp? Space Camp is a realistic and interactive astronaut training experience that exposes children to math, science, engineering, and technology concepts in a safe, stimulating and encouraging environment. Where is it located? Space Camp is located in Huntsville, Alabama, USA. When was it established? Established in 1965 by the State of Alabama, empowered by the U.S. Congress and supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA], the U.S. Space & Rocket Center® is America's leading hands-on space science museum. Since 1982, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center has fostered national and international outreach programs through the Space Camp®, Space Academy®, And Advanced Space Academy® programs. Have other Indian kids attended Space Camp? In the last year or so, over 200 kids from six schools in Bangalore have attended Space Camp programs. They've all found it to be a once in a lifetime, amazing experience. What are the benefits of the program? At Space Camp, students get to see real-world applications of the math, science, engineering, and technology concepts they are studying at school. Space Camp programs bring key concepts alive with experiences like space missions, weightlessness, moonwalks, rocket building, robotics, and simulator training. Space Camp, however, means so much more than just space flight training. Meticulously planned, immersive programs hone interpersonal skills - such as teamwork, self-confidence and communication, while positive adult role models help children strengthen their powers of reasoning, solve problems creatively, and enhance their leadership skills. What activities will my child be involved in while at Space Camp? Space Camp programs are very rigorous, but action and fun filled every day.

The Climbing Tower The Climbing Tower soars 42-feet and involves three very different experiences: Climbing Wall, Repel Platform and 380- foot Zip LIne. X-Campers will climb the steeply-inclined wall individually or tethered together in 2 to 3 person-groups. Then, either repel off the platform or slide down the zip line to reach terra-firma. Relying on others for support, communication and attention to detail is critical for ultimate success. The Pole This event requires participants to climb a 32-foot pole, stand on the top and ultimately leap off the edge to reach a suspended rope.

Space Travel at 1G: Space Tourism in Cold War America
SPACE TRAVEL AT 1G: SPACE TOURISM IN COLD WAR AMERICA by Emily Ann Margolis A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March, 2019 © 2019 Emily A. Margolis All Rights Reserved Abstract Although tourism in space is a 21st-century phenomenon, spaceflight has been a part of American leisure culture since the late 1950s. The space age dawned in the golden age of the family road trip. Americans ventured from home in pursuit of pleasure in greater numbers in the postwar period than at any previous time in the nation’s history. Some of these vacationing motorists made unprompted detours to field centers of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), specifically those engaged in preparations for the nation’s human spaceflight program. In response to the spontaneous appearance of space tourists, NASA centers developed ad-hoc visitor programs and enterprising business people in the surrounding communities seized on space as the central theme for their existing tourism promotion efforts. The result was a proliferation of space-themed tourist attractions and amenities—museums, halls of fame, heritage trails, theme parks, and motels—across the American South in the 1950s and 60s. This dissertation project explores the production and patronage of space attractions in the first decade of human spaceflight. I argue that these sites represent the efforts of individuals and institutions to render spaceflight relevant to their lives. Mass tourism to space attractions offers a new opportunity to examine the role of spaceflight in American society. The most active form of public engagement with space, space tourism has been all but neglected by cultural scholars of the space age.
