Like if did go to Space Camp
zNuKeZSKillz
does it count if you are going...?
Emma Neuroth 12 you’re gonna love it, I went last year and it was the most fun camp I’ve ever been to and I’m definitely going again this year
MythicalChicken I’m going too! It’s my birthday present. What week?
Mynti Girl are u going this week? I am
Catfishc12 no... second to last week of August... :(
NASA: What are your qualifications?
Craig: I play a lot of video games.
NASA: Welcome aboard!
Entirely the plot of Armada by Ernest Cline
+ljmasternoob 100% successful flight rate
OH MY GOSH YES
i play KSP a lot 155 hours in 1 month
Same thing for drone pilots
5:30 Craig, did you open your visor on an EVA?
Rookie mistake ;)
I'm basically an astronaut or whatever.
+WheezyWaiter You have all the necessary Koalafications:
Don't throw up or feel dizzy: Check.
Jump around elegantly like the Queen of England: Check.
Fix the Ammonia thingy: Check.
Sit down in the Cockpit: Check:
Look at screens with numbers'N'stuff: Check.
Countdown: Check in 3... 2...
Push a SHIRTload of buttons and switch the switches in every possible direction: CHECKERTYCHECK.
Apply your mad video game skillZ, brah: Check.
Save the world: Check.
Oh and I'm completely sure I used all the correct technical terms. Over.
All joking aside, this was a really great episode and I really enjoyed watching it! It was very interesting and entertaining. And I'm really looking forward to the next video about Energy. Keep up the great work, guys! :)
+WheezyWaiter This is awesome!!!!!
+WheezyWaiter
Did you get to keep the suit?
+WheezyWaiter - Congrats, Craig! I always wanted to go to space camp ever since it was a prize on Legends of the Hidden Temple and Double Dare.
I was a Nickelodeon kid.
+WheezyWaiter AAAAhHHH I was just there sunday
"We have MULTIPLE problems." "I'm just going to start throwin' switches, guys."
+pineappleboyfilms - lol, so funny!
How does this channel not get over 100,000 views on every video? The quality of production is brilliant, and the scope of the project huge. It deserves a bigger following!
I literally just got home from space camp. so awesome!
I really want to go to space camp. It it worth it? Is it fun? Are people friendly?
@@qtea3.149 they used to be, now that I went last week, you'll find that GenZ has ruined most of the experience...
@@geometricdashingjorge1945 how so? Not being rude, genuinely curious
@@colincormier3124 profanity, inappropriate wear, rather unclean bunks and an overall lack of food to nurture you for the day... they also dont really feel and enthusiastic about space as I was expecting. Dont het me wrong they delivered a awesome experience for me, it's just that I wish that my team wouldn't have been the only one to be responsible, respectful and on task.
@@geometricdashingjorge1945 I just got back from SpaceCamp a few weeks ago, and.... I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you talking about the staff or the kids? My experience was just the adult teams, so that may have been where things differed. But all of our crew trainers and staff were awesome.
As for food, 1) you get three meals per day, so I don't know where "lack" comes in, and 2) it was the same as most every 5, 10, or 15 year old video I've seen that showed the cafeteria food.
So yeah, I'm not sure where the disconnect is, unless its comparing teenage teams to adult teams. And to that I say... they're teenagers, what do you expect? Even in the SpaceCamp movie the teenagers had rotten attitudes, some horribly un-enthusiastic, and singularly focused on pop culture of the day. So yeah... that too hasn't changed at all.
I was too poor to go to Space Camp but it was a dream of mine. Now I’m looking as sending one of my kids. I’m so happy that my children have better opportunities than I ever did!
They have a family and adult program that you might want to look into! (-;
Do the family program. Then you both can experience space camp together!!
7:15 "i'm sorry Craig, I can't let you do that."
+Ben Argabrite Wow that reference... we're going old school
+Ben Argabrite I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.
This is a great channel and it was a great episode. What it needs to become an amazing episode for me is even more explanation and science. You travel around and get to speak to some pretty cool people that have a lot of information and knowledge, so it would be awesome if you "exploit" that even more. I feel like you could have asked very simple questions like "why do I have to push these buttons? Why can't it be automated?" and "why do you need to train to be an astronaut?" or "how much fuel do you need to go to Mars?" and you would get some pretty interesting answers.
Keep it coming guys, and keep asking questions.
I'm starting to think The Good Stuff is just a ruse so Craig can have some fun.
Just came back Braught tears to my eyes
dawn lelo same here
Just watched last video and this one. Got sent here from PBS Spacetime. I feel The Good Stuff when i find a channel worth subscribing. Though from this point maybe you're now being called The Right Stuff .. all space-truckin' with them beards
I just stumbled across your channel and holy guacamole keep up the good shit!!! Im going to share this ish all over the place keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
I’m going to space camp in one week and I’m so excited!!
I just graduated today I absolutely loved it! If you are hesitant to go...... just go! It’s so worth the $
100% agreed
This is really helpful because I'm going to space camp soon so thanks
I would like it if they actually put him into a shuttle training simulator he wouldnt be able to do anything
i went to space camp twice as a kid (4th and 5th grade) and i’m crying right now because it’s the best of the best of the memories i have (shouts out my capcom homies). watching this is unreal because it’s exactly like this. obviously spacial awareness and some acoustic differences but this hit the nail on the head right through my heartstrings.
Isn't space camp so expensive?
@@md.liakatali1014 yes, only kids from Long Island go there :D
i love this video!
I love this place. Ask me any questions about space camp! I’ve gone here for 2 years and loved every second of it. Best thing ever.
Hi Idk if you will answer this but I will like to now if you have to go there with a previous knowledge of space, quantum physics, etc for all the activities, I'm planning to go with a Scholarship because I don't really have much money and I kwon I have to do projects and answer questions for them to see if I am worthy enough to go, but I mean in the missions do I have to kwon much about what we are gonna, do or they explain the tings that we are gonna do??
@@hillbc6708 hi! i don’t know how scholarships work for space camp, but once you’re at camp you don’t need to really know anything or do any hard work. it’s nice to have prior background knowledge abt space before you go, but it’s not necessary. i hope that cleared up any questions! lmk if you have any more questions
@@hillbc6708 and you really don’t have to understand how quantum physics works either, i went there when i was 10 and had no knowledge abt quantum physics.
@@hillbc6708 they explain the missions and all to you when you get there, every activity you do is explained and you can always ask your crew trainer if you have my questions
3:30 that reminds me of when in dreams or nightmares you try to run you cant!
Space Camp is the best. If you have the chance to go do it. I made some awesome friends and I learned a lot.
A yes, I’m going to space camp this Sunday- May 20 2021
I went to space camp. It was awesome! My favorite part was the moon walking simulator.
Btw, the flight suits do not come free with the camp.
+Holobrine my favorite part was the moon mission. It was awesome!!!!!!!!😎
I also loved it
UNIVERSEL VIDEOS cool
did u do the mars mission???
i was environmental specialist
I really want to go to Space Camp (Day Camp) this 2021 Summer! I'm so excited!!
If you get the chance, go to one of the longer ones for the full experience. It is totally worth it.
The M 80s looks like a giant time turner from harry potter
Awesome! It reminds me of when I got to go to Space Camp and Space Academy as a child.
You should give it a try as an adult now ^_^
@k1productions87 Then, I had to travel just 10 miles to get there, now I'd have to travel around 5,000 miles.
@@jeremygwoods So did Sebastian on our team. He came all the way from Germany. Meanwhile, I came from California, so somewhat similar distance from the opposite direction :P
Took three flights to get there, but still worth it.
I went to Space Camp with my school in 6th grade! So weird seeing all of the places on this video... (Thankfully I'm homeschooled now, but Space Camp was the best part of that year.) I didn't do any of the fast things, though. They didn't tell us you wouldn't get nauseated or dizzy, or else I would've done the MAT...
I went to the one in Turkey. It was the same as described here. I want to go again. It was soooooo coooolll
At 6:33 I sat in that same chair that he's in in 2013
I'm going there in 2018! cant wait!
I'm going in 2020
I am going this year! Yay! Is it fun?
Forever bitter I'm in a country where I can't ever go to space camp... but at least I get to enjoy quality content like this!
Don't be bitter. The future is full of infinite possibilities for you!
We had a gentleman in our group from Germany. People have come from over 150 countries since SpaceCamp opened. You should definitely come and give it a try sometime. The Adult Advanced Academy (6-days rather than 4) is generally around the end of October into the beginning of November
I remember going to space camp. I'm going again for a school field trip.
I'm 39 and I still want to go to space camp. lol. When I visit the US again I'll make it a 2 or 3 day priority.
They have an adult program too!
I fully recommend the Adult Advanced Academy. It is 6-days, and generally takes place around Halloween time.
Sandman was one of my mission helpers in the iss mision
'This guy's like Mario' hHAHAHAAA
Hey everyone! I just went this year so if you have any questions I'm open! They just build a new building so some things have changed from previous years. It's a great opertunity and would recommend it to anyone!
I dunno if you're still answering this comment but I'm going early summer next year and I'm curious about the social environment?? I'll be in the "advanced" camp because of my age and I don't want to constantly feel scared of socializing because I get anxious about that stuff a lot 😭
I’m going to the scivis one this year!
THE NAME ON THE SUIT IS UPSIDE DOWN UNTIL GRADUATION!!!!!!!!!!
J Isaza actually we stopped doing that this year because ripping the tag off is a sign that you’ve been kicked out of flight school 😬
@@madimack8000 oh, is that why?
Because everyone in our group wore them upright, and nobody said a thing about it.
Going tomorrow!
I'm going next year
He put on his flight suit with his wings the correct way. In space camp, you have to wear them upside down until graduation. As someone who has graduated space camp twice, I can tell you that he would have not been allowed to wear it like that.
The real reason they don't let you go for height on the 1/6 chair is because the springs only contract by a small amount, so it would put too much stress on the hinges when you came down. Also, I can confirm that he wasn't just bad at running in the chair. It is a real pain to move at all in that thing.
I will say that his anomalies went WAY more smooth than it realistically would have in space camp. Mission control is run by fellow trainees, not adults, so things generally don't go that well. Also, most anomalies that I've experienced on my missions were during re-entry, so that makes the problems worse. And lastly, he was either extremely lucky or a jedi when landing the shuttle, because it has NEVER gone that well in any of my missions or the missions of others that I've heard about.
Really? ... uh... they didn't say anything to our group about it. Every one of us wore them right side up the entire time.
As for landing the shuttle... I didn't have any trouble getting it down on the ground. My right-seat had the darnedest time finding all the switches though. He was almost late deploying the landing gear LOL. I was actually quite shocked at how easily I was able to control the Shuttle. "Just chase the diamond" almost felt like cheating. But then... having played things like Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Descent: Freespace, Elite: Dangerous, and of course Kerbal Space Program... I guess maneuvering just comes far more natural to me.
On the other team though... oof. They crashed three times during training, and nearly took the tail off a 747 on a completely different runway during the actual mission.
I went to space camp in Huntsville al. In fifth grade with was last year
When I went I was the commander😱
My dad said I might go again this year this would be my 3rd year in a row
Damn, Craig lost weight! keep up the good work. Also these videos are really amazing
+Padlix
Well, he lost 5/6 of his weight in this video alone
kind of, yeah :D
I’ve never been to a space camp but I think it’s cool
I think I want To go there this summer
I couldn't do the 1/6 gravity chair hop with the fist in the air without thinking "Shoryuken!" the entire time.
As soon as he said "Look, you're Mario!" I instantly had the little jump sounds playing in my head every time he tried to leave the ground XD
I'm going next Friday, wish me luck
I remembered that we go to the space camp turkey with my school friends it was amazing But I remember there was a 4 astronaut showing face thing (sorry for bad english) there was some people who write something like Nicole was here,Writing on the wall and more
Total missed opportunity to make space puns.
Make it Nobody will stop u
That is my crew trainer !!
I would've hopped a tall fence and jumped some curbs to keep that flight suit myself!
Way cool
This year I can go to space camp
I was paycom on my mission! I was not the best at it. I did the lunar and space shuttle mission. So… while the shuttle as launching there was a crisis on the ISS. I may have technically unalived 3 people if this were real life 🤣😭😭😭
I'm the commander! Alright, what do we do? :D
I'm going there tomorrow
I went there last month
I was there 3 days ago
such swag
I’m going to space camp soon
plus the food is 10/10
I like your video
Elroy Knight hh
Did you keep the space suit?
I plan on being an Astronaut !! See you soon NASA !!
I plan to be an astronomer
This makes me want to go to space camp......
Que suerte las personas del primer mundo yo no tenía ni idea que existía una cosa así yo nunca en toda mi infancia tuve una oportunidad para algo así
I still expected Craig to be in the suit in the comment section scene.
I was here like 2 weeks ago
xXZach13Xx _ how was it
I'm at the space center and there is not really nothing to do but they have stuff for the "space camp" off to the public, so I can spend hundred dollars to see signs saying close to public but for the camp
the space center is a museum. Generally what else is there to do at a museum besides look at the exhibits? And, remember the main exhibit is in the second building, next to the upright Saturn V
I’ve been to space camp
This guy is like Mario. I died xD
Did you actually get to keep the suit?!?
You keep the blue flight suit. I have one from my last trip.
Triumphantes Conportant yeah
you dont keep the suit from the missions but you can buy some from the gift shop
Space Camp does not give you a flight suit. You have to buy one if you want it. They cost $105. They sell them at the gift shop. I didn’t buy one when I was there.
i know i am probably too sensitive about these matters.. but the whole time while watching the video I was hoping no one will get offended by his (admittedly brilliant) comedy lines.
("i am putting my life on the line" and such) loool
I went there. Things are still the same !
By 1/6, he means 175/1000. Yes, I'm a Space Nerd going to Space Camp this summer. Enjoy me nerding out. Hey, do you know what magnetars are? They are (by definition) the largest "magnets" in the galaxy (the milky way)! They target your atoms, and so it'll look like your disappearing into thin air if you get too close to one! A magnetar occurs after a red giant (a star that is running out of "fuel") goes supernova! And that's just one of my many, MANY lectures! I'm only in 6th grade. Wonder what college will bring me?
I am also 6th grade and i am also a space nerd lol
@@somebodyontheinternet8257 Sadly space camp is canceled until next year T_T
IM GOING THERE ON MARCH 8
I would love to go there but it's so expensive :(

StarfleetOfficer Danielle
you know you can apply for a scholarship that gets you fully paid trip
It's actually not for the adult programs
Its about as expensive as most other camp-style programs one could name. If you can afford a sports camp, or a band camp, you can definitely afford Space Camp
Hhb my dad's gonna send me to space camp next year after the fact I've brought up going to a local art camp
I want to go to space camp😂
I was there
I’m going to space camp
I should have gone to Space Camp this year but we needed 16 people and we were 4
You don't have to go as a complete group. Only multi-bookings we had in our group were duos, the rest were singles.
Do you get to keep your flight suit after camp?
Knazoo yes I did
i be been there
2:18 this dude was there when I went
Me too he was my leader
This was amazing! but how come only 13k views, why at this point a PBS channel can still go without getting hundreds of k views. /despair
Because the CZcams audience isn't what It was 6-11 years ago. It's now for a more 'younger' audience while places like Facebook now have the more 'mature' (I use that term lightly) audience.
Got a scholarship, going in august😸
I'm going there tomorrow! I'm 11 so I can still go
You should be 18 now, and you can STILL still go. While there are fewer adult programs in the year, they are still available, and even cater more toward adults than children. For example, certain meet and greets and lectures that children would find boring, but adults would be fascinated by.
the checklist got 99 problems but the master alarm ain't one!
[it's funny if you know some about apollo 11]
"Try SCE to Auxiliary"
Anybody else going July 14th?
Washington, D.C. ?
No Huntsville al
I’m going to the NASA space camp in September I’m DIEING IM SO FUCKING HAPPY
Did a lot better than me I'm space camp trainee 1994 week of 26 so we just future it by calling it class of 2694 space camp Alabama
I didn’t get a flight suit when I went to space camp 😢
They're also available in the gift shop. Though I went to the extra effort of making my own.
Is space camp worth all the money? I really want to go but my parents think it is *EXPENSIVE*
i went there with my school twice, and my only complaints are
1: no public wifi
2: no food in rooms
3: the matresses
4: no running EVER
other than these i would say its worth it
Miku Miku idk but I’ll tell you in October cuz I’m going in September
It does have public WIFI, it is good but it doesn't reach all areas.
@@jahrmit4587 The no running rule is a good thing xD Given the last thing we won't is kids tripping themselves up and face planting on the concrete.
The mattresses? Well, assuming your age for a moment (apologies), just wait for dorm life in college...the mattresses there are no better.
There is wifi, it's just the coverage that is lacking. The center was supposed to be one of the first to get Google Fiber and that still hasn't happened yet.
Its about as expensive as nearly any specialized camp you could name. Be it band camp or sports camp, or the like.
I would recommend the longer programs, though. The greater amount of activities and more immersive experience definitely makes up for any shortcomings, at least in my opinion.
i do not now
I landed in the swamp
