I wish it was actual space. That would be too wicked awesome for words. It's supposed to be (if you go to the older ones, my sister's only 11) v. v. similar to actual astronaut training, though. Like, the high school one has scuba diving to simulate reparing something on the outside of the shuttle in space.
I found myself sort of pissed, though, because she got to go and have all this money spent on her (more than anyone expected, due to the $300 phone bill we got when she got home), but when I was that age (it's through the school's gifted program), we had absolutely zero money, so I couldn't go. Erm, yeah. That's just me there. I want equivilent cash moneys to the upwards of $1000 that all together got spent on her for this trip. I could buy a car. I'd have to learn to drive it, but I could.
