Wow. I am just so overwhelmed at what I lived for the last week. I got home yesterday afternoon, but I have to tell you I DREAMED about Space Camp last night! What an experience. I do plan on adding more about my experiences, so stay tuned. Forgive me if they are out of order.
About coming home: I have to share that I was more TERRIFIED riding the tiny prop plane from Detroit to Toledo than I was for ANYTHING at Camp! It was so tiny that I could read the caution tag on the side of the engine compartment that warned to have it shut securely! I could also see the waves on Lake Erie clearly as we flew over. Needless to say, David and I went to Maumee Bay Brewing Company for a little something to eat (all I had all day was a granola bar and fruit) and a little beverage.
Here are some of the HIGHLIGHTS for my Mission:
Coolest thing overheard: "Mommy, I see astronauts" said by 4 year old child at the Space Center museum.
Two Shuttle Missions (Endeavor and Discovery): EVA (space walk) to repair telescope, and role as Mission Scientist to test soil samples on Mars.
Best Meal: Catered affair eaten under Saturn 5 Rocket. Let me tell you that was OVER WHELMING! At one point I thought I was going to cry it was so awe inspiring!
Things in the Future: Learning about the Ares 1 and Ares V rockets that will take the place of the space shuttles and will take man back to the moon (2020) and to Mars (2030).
