Mr. Schuler Answers Your Questions (re. History)

Hi all,

I will be out of town for Spring Break so it will be a week or so before the next installment of the Space Center's early history. I have sent a few video capture photos of the Space Center during its first year of operation. I have quite a bit more media that I will be posting later. Some of you had questions

1. As far as Kyle Herring's fears and phobias concerning the Space Center, You need to ask him personally about how his exposure to the Space Center warped him.
2. In 1990 Mark Daymont wrote the first adult mission. In 1991 Mark was not directly involved with the the Space Center on a regular basis. He would come down to work on an overnight mission, from time to time. In 1992 Mark and I went on the Space Center Payroll. I was the classroom teacher and Mark took the planetarium out to all of the schools that would be doing missions. About a week to 10 days out he would go to the school do a planetarium show and brief the classes on the mission they would do. This involved traveling all over the state (that will be the subject of a future installment).
3. Since opening the Voyager has always had 2 decks.

More coming in the future.

Bradyn Lystrup's Last Overnight Camp

Hello Troops,
This weekend's Overnight Camp will be Bradyn Lystrup's last mission at the Space Center as a Voyager Flight Director before entering the LDS Missionary Training Center. Bradyn will be a full time LDS missionary in the Boston, Mass. Mission, entering the MTC on April 14th.

Bradyn started as a volunteer many years ago while attending junior high school. He rose through the volunteering ranks, becoming a Supervisor and then a Flight Director. Many of you that have attended our Overnight Camps recently may remember him playing the role of the Grand PooPah on the Voyager mission.

We will miss Bradyn's very very bone dry sense of humor and his never ending quest for a laugh. Bradyn never sweated the small stuff and always tried to look on the bright side of everything. If Bradyn was on the Titanic he would be the one lounging on one of the deck chairs enjoying a Coke as the ship sank from under him!

Good luck to you Bradyn. You'll be leaving behind many many friends.
