More of the Newly Discovered Pictures from the Christa McAuliffe Space Education's Voyager Era

Yes, Troops, such was the devotion the staff and volunteers had for me during the CMSEC's Voyager Era.  I really enjoyed working with what I consider the finest staff a Space Center could desire. They were witty, talented, caring, compassionate, and true to each other and the Center.  

Were they really praying for me in the photo above? I'd like to think so, but to be honest, I'd say they were praying they wouldn't get caught staying up all night on one of the weekend overnight camps. Who knows the mischief this band of sisters got up to in the wee hours of the morning.  One day they'll come clean and confess their adventures.  One day....

                                     

This is Brooklyn Welch on the bridge of the Magellan. Brooklyn left the CMSEC to join the army and became a battlefield medic.  Brooklyn was amazing and made it a point to always stop by to say hello whenever she was in Utah.

The Post Overnight Camp Survey and Award's Honors is what you're seeing in the photo above.  I see a young Alex Anderson in his what I think are his Programming Guild Baby Blues.  And that young lady you see is none other than Megan Warner.  I don't remember the names of the young Black Shirts. Can you help?  

I know its the end of the Overnight Camp because 1) We're in the Discovery Room. 2) The Young Gentleman is enjoying his 2 sugar allotment for working an overnight camp.  Strange he chose the Welches Fruit Snacks as his choice of sugar. The Gift Shop must have been out of everything else. The fruit snacks aways went last with the Butterfingers and Heath Bars.  Either that or he purchased the snacks with real American money, not that phony Canadian stuff.   

Someone made a witty remark based on Alex's broad smile.  I'm sure it wasn't appreciated by a very exhausted Mr. Williamson who was standing just out of picture at the front of the room; trying his best to hurry things along because the 11:00 A.M. mission crews were gathering at the school's front door.

Ah, good times.....

Frazier Elementary School, Home of the newest Simulator in the Fleet of Voyager Inspired Simulators: the IKS Niagara

By Admiral Starblayze
Dream Flight Adventures

Hi Troops,
Today Dream Flight Adventures is delighted to share a few photos from the new IKS Niagara.  This simulator has been flying under the radar lately, as ships are wont to do when the school year kicks off, but Admiral Rigorious paid them a visit earlier this month and brought back a few juicy photos to share.

The ship is brand new, so Larry, Jerry (Will), Tanya, and Mike had the pleasure of sending the very first crew of test pilots on a dangerous mission.

The experience was hair-raising for the new Flight Directors, but the kids absolutely loved it!

Admiral Starblayze

IKS Niagara is Open, Bringing the Total Number of Voyager Inspired Simulators Worldwide to 56.  

It is always a pleasure to add another ship to the growing list of worldwide experiential simulators inspired by my first simulator, the USS Voyager built in 1990 at Central Elementary School in Pleasant Grove, Utah. The IKS Niagara belongs to the Dream Flight Adventures Fleet - our good friends with several simulators in Pennsylvania, Washington DC., and Venezuela.  Dream Flight Adventures was founded by Gary Gardiner. Michael Penn is the Director of North American Operations.   

Curious to see where your local simulator falls on this prestigious list.  Look near the top of the blog's right sidebar to find the link.

The old pins and logos are collector items. The CMSEC still has a few of the old Phoenix pins for sale. The Voyager pins sold out long ago. The others more recently.  

Do you have a few of the old pins floating around your house gathering dust?  If so, would you consider donating the pins back to me?
