Hello, I have never traveled into outer space on the Space Shuttle, but I did go to the Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama when I was in high school. I won my trip to space camp by answering trivia questions about space for a contest sponsored by a local dairy. At Space Camp, we did two simulated Space Shuttle missions. For one of our simulated missions, I got to be the Commander and sit in the cockpit of the simulator. For the second simulated mission, I was part of the ground control crew. Even though I have personally not flown in outer space, I helped test particle detectors for a rocket that is going to be launched into space to study the aurora soon. You can read about what it was like to work on the rocket by clicking on the "Blogs" tab at the top of the message board web page. Kris
