Space Camp has released information regarding the Space Camp Hall of Fame induction.

To get someone in, here are the criteria and how to nominate them…from the website:

No word on when nominations are due, so I would suggest you error on the side of caution and get them in sooner rather than later.

In honor of the 25th Anniversary, Space Camp is having a contest to determine just who is the #1 Space Camp fan!

The prizes are excellent, including VIP treatment at the 25th Anniversary events in June!

All you have to do is make a 3-5 minute video explaining just what makes you Space Camp’s (or Aviation Challenge’s) number one fan!

You can download the rules and entry form here.

The deadline for submission is March 30, 2007.

Finally, here’s an idea, if you’re stuck thinking of something:

Make a video of yourself getting the Space Camp or Aviation Challenge logo tattooed on your arm or something! That’s gotta show you’re a pretty big fan of Space Camp.

You know, not that I seriously considered doing that myself for even a minute. Really!

Space Camp has been soliciting alumni photos for some time now. They’ve gone and posted some now!

You can view them on the Alumni Photo Gallery and submit your own photos as well!

This is really old news that I have been incredibly negligent to have not posted sooner, but Brent Simon has been making rounds on the internet for months now with his “Space Camp” song.

What should be the true Space Camp theme song, here’s the original:

Well, he’s been appearing on real shows as well (the G4 network, for example).

But, as Alumni Andi recently pointed out, he just made an appearance on Live with Jimmy Kimmel to sing “Space Camp!”

Alumni Andi’s comments were most amusing as well:

Consider this, with the flood of 25th Anniversary excitement is there anyone that can compete with Brent’s display of SPACE CAMP LOVE in the upcoming #1 Space Camp Fan contest?

If it’s going to take getting on the Jimmy Kimmel show to win the contest, I would say everyone has their work cut out for them!  But the results should be quite interesting!
