Space Academy trip melds training and travel for Selvidge
Jason Selvidge recently returned from Space Academy at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama. He and cousin Matthew Funk enjoyed astronaut style training with mockups of a Space Shuttle orbiter Spacelab and a space station while noting dormitory suites and hot humid conditions. He plans to attend the U S Air Force Academy someday and faced a travel mishap on the return flight with other campers stranded at the airport and a hotel room arranged for them. Selvidge will be a Shafter High School sophomore in September and says the camp is fun but requires hard study and full days.
