Most viewed - Space Camp Turkey, 3/25/2006

Hydroponics Lab636 viewsWhere Martian carnivorous plants are grown to prepare trainees for an eventual landing on the Red Planet. They also help the staff to deal with uncooperative visitors.

Chuck Moonwalker636 viewsThe unbearable lightness of being on the Moon, pace Milos Kundera.

The back way in633 viewsI don't know how astronauts got into the real Space Shuttle, but here we entered by the back door, and then up a ladder, as Kathy Lindquist is doing here.

Mission Control630 viewsGround control center for the Discovery Shuttle mockup. Named after Leif Ericsson, Viking discoverer of America. (I made that up, of course; I have no idea who the Ericsson being honored here was.)

A bit shaky on the 5DF628 viewsNo sense of balance - I'd have made a hell of a lousy astronaut.

Orientation Session615 viewsFacilities at Space Camp Turkey feature simulators to give participants the sensations of working and living in space. The orientation tells you what to expect, what are your chances of survival, etc.

Pat Bush on the 5DF614 viewsStoic endurance.

Pat Bush on the Multi-Axis Trainer613 viewsI didn't dare to try this one myself.

Sandie pilots the Discovery611 viewsAnd enjoys it, apparently.

Pictures at an Exhibition605 viewsChuck and Sandie check out some of the pictures on the wall near the Surveryor Lunar Lander. Space Camp promotes international amity; even Greek and Turkish kids get along fine here, regardless of their parents' hostilities. (No Armenians though.)

Mars Surface Exhibit604 viewsA simulation of the surface of the planet Mars. No Martians in evidence.

Treading the Heavens600 viewsBut tethered to the ground. They wanted to keep him on a tight leash so he wouldn't get into mischief, as he usually does.
