This is just a
reminder regarding a story I posted last December
that tonight on the USA network, as they present a
showing of Apollo 13 at 7pm tonight, they'll also be
showing segments shot at the USSRC.
here again is a link to the article which talks about tonight's event.
So tune in and enjoy!

Thanks to
Who, this little site has
gotten two new graphical face-lifts.
As you can see, the main logo has been updated, as has the forum's logo.
And for those of you impressed by Who's work, you may just want to hire him! You can see more great art & design here!

Smiley was kind enough to pass along a few photos of the star curtain now on the Training Center Floor.
These pics kinda show what the star curtains look like. Its kinda hard to capture the effect. The stars are LED's and vary in brightness. So they kinda twinkle. This starfield will wrap about 60% of the sims floor area.
Sounds quite nice! ...Click on the small photos to see them larger.
Space Camp says Goodbye to One of its Own

I received some
troubling news in my inbox the other day, and it had
been discussed in the forum even before that. The
Aviation Challenge and Space Camp has lost one of its
own.
Former AC Counselor Jenie Purves, callsign "Texaco," [was] laid to rest [on Friday, February 6, 2004] at 2:30 PM in Huntsville. Jenie was a shinning star among counselors and will be sorely missed by all. The US Space & Rocket Center has set up a scholarship fund in Jenie's honor to allow a deserving child to attend Aviation Challenge. Tax deductible donations may made at the address below.

Jenie was truly one in a million. Her smile and attitude brought joy to all who knew her, no matter how briefly. She will be missed by many, forgotten by few, and loved by all.

It was once written, "The true measure of a life is not how many people know our names when we die, but whether we touched the lives of others." Jenie Purves was an Aviation Challenge counselor. Though she may have gone before her time, she no doubt spent her years well.
