I give it two weeks for someone in the Trump administration to read about this and find some way to cancel a space camp that honors a black woman.

Edit: the center is run by the state government… how can they find a way to squeeze them? Stay tuned.

It's Alabama. It won't take much. Although, Huntsville is very sensitive about space shit.

Ah, Space Camp. I live in the Huntsvile area. It's already a thing. It costs $1200 per person if you go as a child by themselves (probably put into a random group or something), or $600 per person if you go with a school. I went as a 7th grader. God, this should be something significantly better than that. Space Camp was for fucking around and getting out of school for a week. I was really into space stuff, didn't learn anything. They shit on astrology, that was cool.
