Space Camps for adults?

[arun_sinha]

<p> Hey guys check out this video at youtube: http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=tfZz1GFtmBo&feature=related</p><p>It&rsquo;s from the Huntsville Space Camp and there are many more videos of the activities carried out there. When I checked out their Indian website http://spacecampindia.com/ I realized they give a virtual astronaut training experience to their campers. It&rsquo;s a very mature program that integrates both textual and practical learning. The only hitch is that it&rsquo;s for children aged 12 &ndash; 18. I would be glad if anyone of you could tell me of a similar program for adults&hellip; I have a keen interest in space and I see such camps as one of the rare opportunities of living me dream of Space Walking! Please reply &hellip;. </p>

Space Camp (Huntsville) offers adult programs in the Fall. I've attended seven times.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

My 14-year son is crazy about space and he had heard about Space Camp from his physics teacher. He is very keen on attending it. However, till now i wasn't sure whether such camps are worth the money spent. But after seeing the videos, and reading about it on the website (not to mention hewes attending it 7 times ) I am convinced that space camp would provide a very valuable experience to my son on space related issue. Moreover, since it's conducted on the grounds of the US Space and Rocket Centre, which is supported by NASA, the quality of training imparted would be very high. Thanx to all your posts... I have now made up my mind to enroll my son for the Space Camp this summer!<br />
