HabForum Announcement – Special Rank

In honor of this new forum system (and the amazing flexibility it offers), I’ve created the special rank, “An Original Seven” that will be given to the first seven people to post seven legitimate posts to the new forum. If you’ve posted in the old forum, great…but those posts will not factor in to the count to seven.

Only seven people will ever have this rank and rank image (Mercury Capsule Orignal Seven Rank Logo)

Update: They’re all gone!

Don’t worry if you don’t make the first seven…several other custom ranks will almost certainly be created in the future, and the best way to qualify for those is to register and start posting!

New HabForum

A brand new HabForum has emerged from the ashes of the old one!

It looks better, it works better, it IS better. Period.

Use it and enjoy it!

Of course, seeing as it is brad new, certain glitches could possibly arise. While I have made every effort to test it, there always exists the chance for something to go wrong.

If you run into any problems, please send me an email. Thanks!

New HabForum Coming – Don’t Post

Okay…I know I just posted a similar message a few days ago, and it hasn’t been that long since I took it down, but I’m in the process of setting up a new forum system to house the HabForum. In my opinion, it’s better in every way than the present version of ikonBoard I had been using.

This is actually a different board then the one I mentioned in the previous post. That one turned out to be full of bugs and very slow. After installing and trying out three other boards, I’ve settled on the one I’m working on.

I’ve already imported users and posts from the current HabForum, so I would like to keep a freeze on the posts until I bring the new board online. Thanks for your patience!

…And I think it’ll be worth it…it’s a much nicer board!

Space & Rocket Center Brochure

Alabama Space and Rocket Center Brochure - ThumbnailI’ve updated the HabFiles again, this time with a copy of a brochure from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center. As far as I can tell, this brochure is from sometime in the 1970’s. Among the cool photos in it is one of Baker while she was still alive and living at the space center (Page 12) and the fact that you used to be able to actually touch the Apollo 16 capsule (Page 13)!

Enjoy!

Space Camp News – Spring 1995

Space Camp News - Spring 1995 - ThumbnailI’ve added to the HabFiles section of the site!

Added are scans of a newsletter that Space Camp used to send to its alumni called “Space Camp News.”

I received two such copies. Though I don’t know for sure if they produced any more, I don’t believe they did…at least, not after the spring of 1995.
Here’s the Spring 1995 edition:
