Astronaut Training
Camp
Every Saturday and Sunday, April 1 – June 30, 2001
12:30pm - 2pm; 2:30pm - 4pm
Chabot Space & Science Center Galleries
Learn more about the strange effects that humans experience in orbit and beyond by participating in our activities. You can see what it feels like to wear a space suit, or simulate the disorientation of not knowing which way is up. Other weekend days will focus on eating in space, or — everyone's favorite — using the bathroom in space. It will be out of this world!
Activities are offered on a drop-in basis (participants may wander in and out any
time).
