D
on’t let your child spend another boring summer at home with nothing to do! Virginia Air & Space Center has a wide variety of stellar summer camps for little explorers from kindergarten to 8th grade. These educational summer camps are so much fun your child won’t even notice that they’re learning when they embark on their summer camp quest! Regular camp-goers, ten years old Olivia Basco and AJ Sellers, love everything about the camps, including the snacks, programs, and new friends they meet every year. They even love the teachers! “I like Mr. Parrish, he makes things really fun and interesting, and isn’t strict like a school teacher,” Olivia stated. Olivia and AJ have both attended the Robotics and Claymation camps, which are just a few of the vast array of themes the program has to offer. AJ was very enthusiastic about the Robotics camp and what he learned as he exclaimed that “in the Robotics camp, we got to build Lego mind-storms, which was really fun.” Other summer camp themes include space exploration, detective mysteries, the disgusting world of Grossology, the five senses, and even your child’s favorite amusement park thrill rides: rollercoasters. Not only are the programs tons of fun, some campers get to experience a special surprise at the end of camp, including a visit to the Hampton Carousel. This is a favorite experience among many of the campers year after year as they get to explore the restored 1920’s merry-go-round on Downtown Hampton’s beautiful waterfront. Throughout the camp, children can investigate the wonders of science while having the time of their lives, meeting new friends and gaining new knowledge. Let the discovery begin this summer as you enroll your little explorer(s) in a summer science camp; they’ll be begging to come back year after year!
See page 5 for camp listings.
“I like Mr. Parrish, he makes things really fun and interesting, and isn’t strict like a school teacher,” - Olivia Basco, ten years old, VASC camper.

Nanci received training with the original class of docents in 1991 and was on hand for the Center’s grand opening in April 1992. Her love of aircraft and gentle manner make her a favorite with visitors and staff members alike. Mel became a volunteer docent in 2004 after completing a career with the NOAA. His broad knowledge of ships, aircraft and satellites make him a valuable asset to our docent team. John Johnson joined us as a volunteer radio operator in 1996. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, John operates the Center’s amateur radio station on Wednesdays. John Witherspoon became a volunteer docent in 1992 shortly before his retirement from NASA Langley Research Center. During the summers from 1996 through 2001, he joined the staff as a NASA van tour operator, thereafter resuming his volunteer service as a greeter and ERC assistant. We congratulate these extraordinary volunteers and extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire volunteer corps for their efforts to enrich the lives of others and fulfill the Center’s mission to educate, entertain and inspire visitors of all ages.

NASA UPDATE NASA LANDS AT HOME-A-RAMA B
et you didn’t know that your hand-held cordless vacuum or that the air purifier in your refrigerator are products of NASA aerospace technology. The fact is, you will find NASAderived products throughout your household. Since NASA was formed in 1958, the Agency has been committed to finding ways to bring the benefits of space exploration back to Earth. And the best news is that you can see this technology in action at the Space Exploration House during this year’s Homearama! For ten years now, people have been living in space, orbiting above Earth aboard the International Space Station. Easily the most complex spacecraft ever built, the station has taught us a lot about living in space – but it has also yielded benefits here on Earth. While NASA does not manufacture, market or sell commercial products, a multitude of products are derived from NASA technology and adapted by private industry for use by consumers like you. Many are on display at the Space Exploration House and NASA personnel are available there to tell you more. The list below is expansive. Products from advanced home insulation and fire-resistant fabrics to infant formula and modern truck design to nutrition programs and sports equipment are inspired by NASA innovation. Developed by commercial entities from NASA’s research and technology innovations these products are ever leading to safer households, a cleaner environment, health and medical advances, computer technology upgrades,
Stop by the Space Exploration House during Homearama and see how you benefit from NASA technology.
transportation efficiencies and public safety improvements. All contribute to a better quality of life for all of us. Without a doubt, our Nation is receiving a significant return on its investment in NASA. For more information on tracing space back to you, go to http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/nasacity/index2.htm For directions & details on Spring Homearama 2011 in Virginia Beach visit www.homearama.tv
Ask us about technologies like: • Bar Coding Originally developed to help NASA keep track of millions of spacecraft parts. Now used by nearly every sales organization to keep track of inventory. • Smoke Detectors First used in Skylab, the early Earth orbiting space station, to help detect toxic vapors. Now used in most homes and other buildings to warn of fire. • Joystick Controllers Developed as a controller for the Apollo Lunar Rover. Now used for lots of things, including computer games and vehicles for people with disabilities. • Advanced Plastics Special, low-cost materials for spacecraft developed as the base for printed circuits like those inside your computer. Now used as low-cost materials for food and beverage containers. • Medical Imaging Developed to process signals from spacecraft to gain clearer images. Now used to make photo-like images of the interior of our bodies. • Aerospace Resin Advanced flexible plastic that withstands heat and cold developed for high-speed aircraft. Now used for implantable medical devices, including leads to the human heart. • Ear Thermometers Infrared sensors developed to remotely measure the temperature of distant stars and planets. Now used as a hand-held thermometer that provides an accurate reading in two seconds or less. • Automotive Insulation Materials developed for the space shuttle thermal protection system. Now used by NASCAR to protect drivers from the extreme heat generated by the engines.
• Sun Tiger Glasses Developed to protect the eyes of welders working on spacecraft. Now used as protective lenses that block almost all the wavelengths of radiation that might harm the eyes. • Thermal Gloves and Boots Developed for the spacesuits worn by Apollo astronauts. Gloves and boots now fitted with heating elements powered by rechargeable batteries. • Shock Absorbing Helmets Temper Foam, a shock absorbing material, was first developed for use in aircraft seats. Now used in football helmets providing three times more shock absorbing capacity. • Invisible Braces Advanced ceramic research developed new, tough materials for spacecraft and aircraft. Now teeth-straightening braces use brackets made of this nearly invisible material. • Edible Toothpaste Special foamless toothpaste developed for the astronauts to use in space. Although this would be a great first toothpaste for small children, it is no longer available. • Ski Boots Developed with accordion-like folds for more comfortable space suits. Now this design allows ski boots to flex without distortion but still give support and control. • Infrared Cameras Sensitive infrared hand-held camera developed to observe the blazing plumes from the shuttle. Now used to scan for fires and point out hot spots for firefighters. • Video Stabilization Software Image-processing technology developed to analyze shuttle launch video. Now used to study meteorological images and help law enforcement enhance crime-solving video.

TRAVELING EXHIBIT Human
Now through September 5, 2011!
U
sually you don’t find your own body’s oozes, scabs or smells too disgusting, it’s other people’s that gross you out. Well get ready to be truly grossed out by even your own body as you step into Human Grossology, the new traveling exhibit at the Virginia Air & Space Center, now through September 5, 2011. Based on the best selling book Grossology by Sylvia Branzei, this science-indisguise exhibition allows kids to get answers to many of the slimy, oozy, crust, stinky they always ask you about the human body. This time, let their minds do the wandering and discover some of the human body’s unique abilities as they explore over 20 interactive displays and games that the exhibit has to offer. Human Grossology uses sophisticated animatronics and imaginative exhibits to tell you the good, the bad and the downright ugly facts about how your body works. Take a “Tour du Nose” to explore ten nasal features, including how your snoot acts as an air filter, a smell sensor and a mucus producer. Play the pinball game “Gas Attack” by scoring off bumpers dressed up as food items that cause gas. Mimic the build up of acid indigestion by causing the “Burp Man” to release a giant belch. Explore the role of the kidney in a virtual reality experience in “Urine: The Game.” Match the body odors with the area of the body parts they come from: arm pits, lower intestines, mouth and feet in “Y U Stink.” Human Grossology explains how your body is constantly hard at work to keep you healthy. Learn through interactive exhibits that let you feel like you’re a tiny cell inside your own body. Ride down the Gastrointestinal (GI) Slide, climb a large-scale replica wall of scabby skin, play an life-sized version of the classic game Operation, learn about tooting, vomiting, boogers and so much more!
Play a giant game of "Operation."
Sometimes n science ca tinky be crusty, s t & down righ yucky!
Create your own disgusting burp.
