What is it like for adults? Does the adult program use the same equipment as the kids? I think of myself as a pretty serious person and I was considering space camp to get a detailed experience.
I'm 21 but videos like this:

with the kiddie theme seriously turns me off. I see they have a bunch of "rides" like the M.I.T. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpTtojMjbaI) which are interesting, but then clips like this:

makes it look boring..
I am looking for a more mature atmosphere and experience. Like do they simulate the daily tasks of the shuttle crew? I see there is some sort of computer simulation and charting in the video but do they require real teamwork or is it just goofing off and/or mashing random buttons?
Do you guys think space camp will be right for me if I am expecting a more serious tone than in that video? I understand it has to appeal to everyone like the casual Jonas Brothers fans however I have not seen anything on the adult program. Maybe I am just better off volunteering or getting a internship at a actual NASA location? I was going to do that anyway but hoping space camp would be interesting also. I just don't want it to be too basic or be stuck with adults goofing off all the time.
If any adults have any RECENT feedback please post it here thanks!
