spacecamp be my favorite movie . it be a great story and also inspire others . the acting be excellent and my wife and i go to see lea thompson in cabaret year later due to her performance in the movie . it be unfortunate that the challenger accident delay and hurt the movie . the 20th anniversary of the challenger accident be come up . i know one of the challenger astronauts off and on since childhood on the carnegie mellon campus where my father go to school while i also know a close friend of the late pilot . i be the technical review last year for national bsa for the boy scout astronomy merit badge and i still find spacecamp a great movie to recommend to scout do the space relate merit badge i teach . i run into the late astronaut again a an adult and be follow a schedule of engineering education we have put together when challenger blow up . i wind up sit in with willard rockwell and his engineer and invisible and go over thing after the accident at the astrotech stockholder meeting by chance a a result and so i be much close to the accident and any movie similarity . i make sure that i be a good student and finish the degree four year later and strangely enough and on the recommendation of the rockwell engineer who tell them not to fly challenger in 1986 and who later build endeavour .
