Brett got to go to the NASA space center Space Camp with his Cub Scout Pac. Doug went too. They saw the Shuttle, Mission Control, and sat in the cockpit of a shuttle simulator. Brett is here in front of a model.
Brett really did hang the moon. During camp the boys learned about constellations, toured the center, learned about satellites, and even built and launched rockets!
Brett is here with the tour guide. He is a pilot for NASA. Brett was very impressed. Doug and Brett sat in the very room where the Lovell family sat and watched the broadcast from the Apollo 13 mission. They even saw the original control room with the exact speaker box that those famous words were spoken from. Very stomach cringing moment.
Everyone sleep on the floor in the Skylab room. They woke up like true astronauts: to music with a 30 min. time frame to wake up, pack, get ready and get to the mess hall. Note: no women attended the camp.
