Curious About the Starship Simulators outside of Utah? Watch this Video About One of Our Sister Ships, the IKS Marvel in Michigan. Audrey Hendriksen's Short Documentary on the Space Center. Imaginarium Theater
The Bridge of the IKS Marvel. Dansville, Michigan
People are surprised to learn there are 8 starship simulators very similar to the 14 Space EdVentures simulators we have in Utah County outside of Utah. They are part of the Dream Flight Adventures Network created by Gary Gardiner.
Gary spent many hours of his teen years attending both overnight and summer space camps at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center in the 1990's. That's where he got "hooked" on experiential simulator based education. His goal was to create a similar program in Pennsylvania where he settled with his family. Today, Dream Flight Adventures has 8 simulators in two states, the District of Columbia, and one overseas simulator in Venezuela.
Recently the IKS Marvel was highlighted in a Michigan educators video. The teachers and administrators do an excellent job describing what we do with our simulators and I encourage everyone to take a minute and watch the video. Let's celebrate the work of our sister simulators and wish them the very best as we all work together to create a space faring civilization.
Plan a Visit: The IKS Marvel primarily flies missions for students at Dansville Elementary School, but it will welcome visitors from other schools, districts, and groups from its surrounding community. Please stay tuned to our blog for updates.
Launch Date: May 2019

Audrey Henriksen's Short Video Project on the Christa McAuliffe Space Center
I'm not one to draw attention to myself or to stand out in a crowd. I prefer the quiet life, spending time doing my favorite hobby - sitting quietly. It has been mentioned that I'm humble to a fault and I humbly agree. However.... there are times when one must step out beyond the cloistered walls of room 304 to promote causes dear to one's heart and recently that is what I did at the request of everyones favorite Blue Shirt, Audrey Henriksen.
Audrey was tasked by a professor to make a short video on a topic of her choosing. The Space Center was Audrey's topic which was no surprise to anyone. Audrey contacted me and asked if I'd be willing to step before the camera and be interviewed. Of course my first reaction was to politely decline but considering that everyone owes Audrey a favor, or two, or three I happily accepted the request.
The finished video is below. Audrey gave permission for it to be posted to The Troubadour for all to enjoy. Audrey - Job Well Done!
