10 Products Only for People Who Begged Their Parents to Let Them Go to Space Camp

Space camp?! Do you remember the first time you heard of it? Your brain went crazy imagining a place where you floated through each day in Zero G, you suited up to leave the ship, slept in a bunk that could be ejected in an emergency, and called your fellow campers, “Captain” and “Ensign.” While everyone else — in all the other lame summer camps — were doing macrame, you were developing new botany methods for non-Earth atmospheres.

If you got to go, you might have been startled to learn you were going to Alabama and not Alpha Centauri but that accomplishment still put you in the elite few who’s relentless begging accomplished the ultimate goal.

You are a grown up now. You don’t have to beg anyone for anything. You can just do it. Space Camp? Maybe that’s for kids. But you can live the dream every day.
