170: Space Camp: Part 2- We Make the Next Movie

Big dreams start at Space Camp.

The kids and family recipients from the Cosmic Odyssey scholarship program are joined by Inspiration4 astronaut Chris Sembroski in this creative conversation. Together, we discuss how our experiences can be put into the next Space Camp movie! From who's in mission control and on the rocket to where we're going to explore- we giggle through creating our own space exploration adventure based on our training at Space Camp! We feel our team would be qualified- we've got the Top Gun award-winning recipient aviator, 5 former Space Camp attendees (including two trainers, two Hall of Fame recipients, a former VP of Space Camp and one astronaut) and several of the most brave, strong and impressive cancer-surviving kids and their families. Your heart will soar listening to the Kent and Herbert family share their special memories of experiencing Space Camp together in this episode of Casual Space.

About Space Camp: www.spacecamp.com Space Camp opened on June 13, 1982, launching what is now an internationally recognized STEM camp with more than one million alumni from all 50 states and 150 international locations. While in Huntsville, Beth and hundreds of alumni and Space Camp supporters will gather to celebrate AND witness the induction of the next class of Space Camp Hall of Fame members. These alumni have made significant contributions in their fields and we look forward to honoring them, featuring outstanding alumni and a fireside chat with members of the Inspiration4 team, the first all-civilian space flight, led by Jared Isaacman, a 1995 Aviation Challenge graduate.
