The author and their son attended a weekend space camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, taking part in astronaut training activities. Despite initial fears, both found joy in the multi-axis trainer, which spun them in various directions without causing nausea. A highlight was building and launching model rockets, which emphasized creativity and excitement. The experience was also a communal one, as many parents attended to share in their childhood dreams with their children. The weekend concluded with a memorable graduation ceremony, marking the successful completion of their training.
I'm extremely scared," my son said to me as he watched other kids take a turn.
Riding the multi-axis trainer requires full surrender to wherever the moment moves you.
One of the highlights of the weekend was building our own model rockets; every person had to build their own out of cardboard and plastic.
At the end of the four-day weekend, camp leaders held a graduation ceremony for those of us who'd completed our training.
