HI!, MY NAME IS MOZZ,

I AM THE FIRST THAI STUDENT JOINING SPACE CAMP

I ATTENDED SPACE CAMP PROGRAM ON APR 2016

AGE ATTENDED SPACE CAMP: 9 YEARS

When I was nearly 3, my dad took me to the National Air and Space Museum and that’s when I began dreaming to be an astronaut.

​

My all-time favorite story is “Life at Space”. I enjoyed all books about living in Space and sharing the story to my friends. In Thailand, it is not a popular story because we don’t send any rocket to the space thus my friends always get excited when hearing the space story.

 

Mom then told me there is a Space Camp in the U.S. and I was waiting until I finally competed 9 years old. I was very excited. My Journey to Space Camp was very long. But when I’ve got there, I saw a space shuttle, I knew I arrived.

At camp, there were boys and girls from all over the world. Most of the kids were from America and also from Australia and New Zealand.

​

There are lots of incredible stuffs here at the Space Camp. What really excited me is they keep the activities as  secret. I had a chance to train as an astronaut, being on the 1/6 Chair, MAT, MMU and G Force. I learned that an astronaut needs lots of training, being discipline and also being very brave!! (I had to hold my breath when riding on the Space Shot!). The amazing thing was riding the flight simulator, I was a pilot in a mission to the space station. I met a real astronaut and have got lots of friends.

 

The food was great and I slept so well at the camp. I am back to Thailand now and shared all stories to my friends.  I will be certainly back again next year and I hope all my Thai friends can get there and have fun like me.
