A Sampling of Camper's Comments on their Experience at the Space Education Center

My friends and I recently did the mission "Intolerance" on the Voyager. I just wanted to thank you for such an amazing experience! I had so much fun. I was so inspired by the mission, in fact, that I'm now collaborating with a friend to write a story based on it! (Incidentally, how do you spell the names of the races? We say Pennae and Pennau, but we could be wrong. Anyway, thanks so much and keep up the good work! I love the Space Center and hope to come back soon for my 19th mission. Sincerely, Ashley

Written on a Camp Survey Form: “I like having jobs that really matter if you do them or not. I like the computers”
A Camper Comment after an Overnight Camp: "It is the best because you’re the actors and you make the story unfold.”
Sam Wrote, “It really makes you focus and think. It also takes each person out of their own minds and teaches them to work together.”
Alex Wrote in an Email: "By the way, you have amazing simulators. When I was captain, it amazed me how somthing so fake could be so real in these cool simulators. Thanks for sharring them with me."

Have a Laugh.

Subject: Why?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a
'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you
were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What disease did cured ham actually have?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it
would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies
wake up like every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in
binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song
about him?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a
coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?
They're both dogs!

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why
didn't he just buy dinner?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from
vegetables, what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from
morons?

Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the
same tune?

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Why, Why, Why

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the
batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know
there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion
stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the
bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes
that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their
vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first
try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?'

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's
falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in
summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

And my FAVORITE......

The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons are
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
