My 2015 Space Camp Experience
My first of hopefully many visits to Space Camp. This was a childhood dream that finally became a reality. Spent 6 days at the Adult Advanced Space Academy (train with an astronaut) program with the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. During the 6 days, we did everything from learning, training, scuba diving, rocket construction, conducting missions, performing EVAs, flight simulators, tours, traveled to Mars in the Orion capsule, performed experiments aboard ISS, and hanging with real astronauts Robert Hoot Gibson and Robert Wolf Springer.
I like making these types of videos but they are mostly for me and close friends. I apologize in advance for the poor filming. I used saved snapchats, galaxy gear watch footage, phone captures, and a small camera to get pretty much all of the shots. I took very few from other people's Facebook profiles.
The songs are Royalty-free, taken from many different sites.
Sorry that it's so long. I was recording about 50% of the time so this is 6 days worth of awesomeness, filtered down to 36 minutes.
I hope you enjoy. I welcome your comments and any questions about this great program. NASA rules!!!

Alabama
Visit Alabama! Learn about this state and its history - with a focus on the civil rights struggle - in the latest addition to our video series about the U.S. states; presented by Jennifer Hall Godfrey, Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Mission to International Organizations in Austria. #50states #AL
Transcript:
Hello. I'm Jennifer Hall Godfrey, the Public Affairs Officer at the United States Mission to International Organizations in Vienna, Austria. I'm happy to introduce you to the state of Alabama.
Like many of our states, the name Alabama comes from the name of a local Native American tribe. It is a beautiful state. Peach and pecan trees, and blackberry bushes, grow wild in Alabama's fields of rich soil and red clay. The state's chicken, cattle, cotton, and soybean farms provide work for many. Hunting and fishing are popular pastimes, and Alabama's coastline along the Gulf of Mexico has beautiful sandy beaches and emerald waters, making it a popular vacation spot.
Alabama has a significant history in the United States Civil War. During that war, Alabama was one of the original seven states of the Deep South to secede from the Union. Montgomery became the capital of the Confederate States of America, and Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, resided there.
Long after the South lost the Civil War, racial tensions remained high in the United States, into the mid-20th century, including in Alabama. In 1955, an African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white passenger. This act of civil disobedience was the spark for what became known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, during which African Americans refused to ride public buses. The boycott lasted more than a year and hurt the city transit system financially. It ended in 1956, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision of a Montgomery federal court to strike Alabama's bus segregation laws.
A pastor at a Montgomery church, Martin Luther King, Jr., was a leader in the boycott. He went on, of course, to play a prominent role in the civil rights movement. The attention he brought to segregation, including his famous I Have a Dream speech, lead to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act outlawed major forms of discrimination against African Americans and women.
Even so, many African American voters were still unable to register to vote. In 1965, Dr. King led a march in Alabama from Selma to Montgomery to draw attention to the issue. Alabama state police held the marchers back at Selma, using whips, night sticks, and tear gas. The TV coverage of the violence outraged many Americans, and President Lyndon Johnson sent U.S. army troops and the Alabama National Guard to protect the protestors. The 2,000 men and women participating in the march were joined in Montgomery by 50,000 supporters gathered at the capitol to hear King speak. No tide of racism can stop us, he said.
As a result of the march, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which banned literacy tests and other requirements that had been used to prevent African Americans from voting. While Alabama's motto -- We Dare Defend Our Rights -- was chosen before the civil rights movement reached its apex, it became all the more meaningful for Alabama because of the civil rights movement.
Alabama today is home to a diverse population of almost 5 million with a wide variety of interests. The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is one of the largest in the world, with more than 400 performances a year.
Montgomery's Museum of Fine Arts houses paintings by Zelda Fitzgerald, who grew up in Montgomery. Huntsville is home to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and the visitor center for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
Tuskegee hosts the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, the training facility for the first African American military aviators in the United States armed forces. And Monroeville is the birthplace of two great 20th-century American authors, Truman Capote and Harper Lee. Every year Monroeville hosts a performance of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee's Southern Gothic classic story.
In Alabama you can visit Mobile, the birthplace of baseball great Hank Aaron. Or take in an American football game and enjoy the historic competition between Alabama's two biggest universities, the University of Alabama and Auburn University.
In Alabama's largest city, Birmingham, you can visit Vulcan, the largest cast iron statue in the world, which honors the city's history in the iron and steel industry. Birmingham is also home to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, where you can learn about legendary jazz greats with Alabama ties, including Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, and Erskine Hawkins.
I hope you've enjoyed learning a little bit about Alabama. From history to sports, science and technology to the arts, farming to fishing on the Gulf Shores, Alabama is a remarkable state.

McKamey Manor: Inside America's most extreme haunted house experience
Warning: this video contains graphic scenes. McKamey Manor is one of the most extreme haunted house experiences in the US. Located in Russ McKamey’s San Diego backyard, the full ‘haunt’ lasts eight hours, yet no one has managed to complete it. McKamey has amassed a cult following online and there is a 27,000 waiting list, but does is his event cross the line from fright to torture?

The Blue Fugates of Kentucky were an isolated group of settlers who, through a rare recessive gene, developed blue skin. Due to their blue skin and their isolated location, they began to inbreed, eventually becoming something of a local legend - the blue hillbillies that live in the woods - until they reappeared in the 1960s.
Allentown, New York, is a village in New York State that was cut off from the rest of society after a dam flooded the valley where they lived. They call their community The Hollow, but outsiders call it Allentown because almost everybody there is from the same family.
The Habsburgs of Europe were one of the most powerful families in history, ruling over the Holy Roman Empire in Eastern Europe until the early 20th century. But one segment of the Habsburgs in Spain, known as the Spanish Habsburgs, participated in incest and inbreeding for so long that they developed The Habsburg Jaw - a genetic deformity that got so bad that many could barely speak. It was Charles II of Spain that finally put an end to this practice because he was so inbred that he couldn't reproduce.
And the Egyptian royal family of ancient Egypt practiced inbreeding for over a thousand years because they believed that the only person who could mate with a pharaoh was someone else from their family - they were living gods after all. By the time King Tutankhamen was born, their lineage was so ruined that he had multiple genetic deformities and died at only 18.

Decatur,AL 01.04.2018 #3
Decatur is a city in Morgan and Limestone counties in the State of Alabama. The city, nicknamed The River City, is located in Northern Alabama on the banks of Wheeler Lake, along the Tennessee River. It is the largest city and county seat of Morgan County.[6] The population in 2010 was 55,683.[3]
Decatur is also the core city of the two-county large Decatur, Alabama metropolitan area which had an estimated population of 153,374 in 2013. Combined with the Huntsville Metropolitan Area, the two create the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area, of which Decatur is the second-largest city.
Like many southern cities in the early 19th century, Decatur's early success was based upon its location along a river. Railroad routes and boating traffic pushed the city to the front of North Alabama's economic atmosphere. The city rapidly grew into a large economic center within the Tennessee Valley and was a hub for travelers and cargo between Nashville and Mobile, as well as Chattanooga and New Orleans. Throughout the 20th century, the city experienced steady growth, but was eclipsed as the regional economic center by the fast-growing Huntsville during the space race. The city now finds its economy heavily based on manufacturing, cargo transit, and high-tech industries such as General Electric and United Launch Alliance.
