Mr. Rand Goes to Space Camp!

What is it? Honeywell announced that it has awarded scholarships to 200 teachers from 19 countries and 43 U.S. states to attend the Honeywell Educators at Space Academy program from June 16 to June 28, 2006 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

On Sunday we went through a series of astronaut simulations. This is one simulation that would allow the astronauts to experience what a bounce and roll landing may have felt like on the surface of the moon. This was a FUN ride! There was also a simulation that let us see what gravity would feel like at 1/6 the gravity of earth.

Sunday was a big day for us with a mission planned aboard the shuttle Atlantis. During this mission I was responsible for PROP in mission control. Basically anything that boomed I needed to monitor. The shuttle mission was a great learning experience. Unfortunately, we didn't land successfully.

    I love this activity. I want a blog in Ghana. It is great to hear from you. I am jealous of your adventure. Are there dogs on Mars? Does the Disney character really come from Pluto? And my questin of Howdy Dowy continues to be a mystery. Take care be well and weightless.
