Alyson goes to the space center!

Last Friday night my friend Sarah and I went to The Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center
(or the space center for short:). It's name makes it sound like some kind of place where you take classes on space, but it is totally different. You get to go on these "space ships" that are basically a big room with lots of computers that are designed for different jobs. (engineer, security, comunications officer, captan, and many others depending on the ship) The ships look real and the situations that they put you in seem just as real, even though you have alien or other life forms that are trying to kill you or come on your ship. It is hard to explain how much fun it is. You kind of have to be there and experience it.

The mission I did on Friday was about 6 hours. I was the engineer and had to crawl into this tiny hole that led to a small closrofobic room. ( if you look on there website there is a video of one of the missions and if you look to the back of the space ship you can kind of see the hole.) Anyways, in this small, tight room there were trap doors that intruders came in through to kill us. It was a hard and stressful job, espeshially when the lights went out and I had to plug things in, take chips in and out of holes, and yell orders to others while only useing a teeny flash light.
Here is the web site for this place if you want to see pictures and find out more if your confused.-http://spacecamputah.org/
