re: I am interested in hearing about people's first-hand experiences at Space Camp.

I actually enjoyed the low-budget version at Northwestern St in Nachitoches better than the real thing. I was one of those awkward nerdy types in middle school and found the real camp pretty overwhelming. It was a ton of pressure, so much so that a lot of it wasn’t very fun. I bet if I had gone when I had socially matured a little bit that I would have had a blast.
