Camp organizers explained that the redesigned education program will offer kids the unique opportunity to contend with all of the budgetary restrictions and bureaucratic red tape impeding the progress of actual astronauts and researchers, allowing children from grades four to six to immerse themselves in a true-to-life NASA environment in which financial shortfalls and endless procedural delays plague them at every turn." This would be funny if it were not so close to the truth. Dan Schultz N8FGV _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
