Huntsville’s Space Camp on Hallmark Hall of Fame

January 29, 2012
8:00 pm	to	10:00 pm

ALABAMA TAKES CENTER STAGE AS HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS HUNTSVILLE’S SPACE CAMP

SPACE CAMP® and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center will be featured in a made-for-TV movie, Sunday Night, January 29^th on ABC at 9/8pm central.  The movie, “A Smile as Big as the Moon,” is a true story based on the novel written by Mike Kersjes.

There are numerous mentions in the movie about Huntsville and traveling to Alabama to attend Space Camp.  The filming in Huntsville was made possible thanks to assistance from the Alabama Film Office and the Alabama Tourism Department. The Space Center extends special appreciation to Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, State Tourism Director Lee Sentell and to Kathy Faulk and Tommy Fell in the Alabama Film Office.

Mike Kersjes brought the first group of special needs children to attend Space Camp in 1988.  Kerjses, a coach and special education teacher in Grand Rapids, Michigan, helped his students achieve their impossible dream of attending Space Camp at a time when the camp accepted mainly gifted students.  In order to get his students into the camp, Kersjes contacted Dr. Deborah Barnhart, who at the time was Director of Space Camp Operations and is today the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s CEO and Executive Director. 

The Friday night event IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.  You can attend the movie premiere in Huntsville for $10.00 inside the Saturn V Hall.  If you’d like to attend, please visit, www.spacecamp.com/smilemovie to reserve a spot for you and your guest(s).

SKYWARN Facts

SKYWARN is the National Weather Service (NWS) program of trained volunteer weather spotters.  Storm spotters come from many walks of life, including fire fighters, law enforcement, and amateur radio operators.  SKYWARN spotters coordinate with local emergency management officials and send reports of weather based phenomena to the NWS.

In addition to serving as a community’s first line of defense against dangerous storms, spotters provide important information to warning forecasters who make critical warning decisions.  SKYWARN storm spotters play a critical role of giving the NWS vital ground truth data, which helps the NWS perform its primary mission, to save lives and property.
