space camp

A little more than five years ago my friend Emmy, who moved to Alabama, and I met up for a week at space camp. It was actually really a lot of fun and we got to try all these cool simulataions. We got to ride on hover crafts, experience what it feels like to walk on the moon, take tours of space crafts, perform missions, rock climb and eat space food! haha. One of the rides that I really enjoyed was the G-Force which is that spinny ride we talked a lot about in class where it spins so fast, that the centrifugal force pushes you up against the circular wall. Another ride that I liked was the Sapceshot (in the picture). I guess it's kind of like the Tower of Terror and Disneyworld except it goes like a million times faster. As we were dropping down, the seats we were secured in were dropping faster than our bodies would at freefall. So because we weren't strapped in so tight to the seats that we couldn't move, it felt like we were being lifted off the seats. But actually our bodies were just dropping at a slower speed than the ride. haha it was so thrilling! So much fun. Oh yeah and I'm the one on the left.
