It’s been an exciting day!

Today we were all a bit more fresh than yesterday, seeing as we got a good night’s sleep. We woke up a bit sleepy but excited nonetheless. This morning we did more filler activities, like riding the rides and playing the army games again. While some people went on the G-Force ride it started to rain, so the rest of the group took shelter under an actual size model rocket. It was a true “only at Space Camp” moment.

We were the joined by the rest of our camp group, an American school from Shanghai. It’s an interesting mix of us as a result, as there are Americans going to school in China, a Chinese girl going to school in America, and just about everything in between. We watched a bit of the movie A Smile As Big As the Moon, a lifetime movie based on a disabled group of students who got to go to Space Camp.

Most memorably, today we got our first mission briefing. It was an interesting glimpse at what we’re aiming for with our time here. Tomorrow we scuba dive as well as learn more about our missions, so lots of very exciting activities coming up!

I’m hoping to put up pictures tomorrow morning, since I seem to be waking up a bit before our 6:30am call time.

All’s well,
