Upon arrival, a maximum of 72 participants are broken up into six teams of 12. From that moment on, the activities are nonstop. You'll build and launch your own rockets, participate in very realistic space simulations, and tour the Kennedy Space Center and the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

"We've got this airplane practically rebuilt, but [the problems] just don't seem to stop," Senior Master Sergeant Michael Rutland complained to Air Force investigators looking into the second crash. "We wonder what else is wrong with it that we don't know about." More than half the instructor pilots, busy trying to teach others to fly, had "generalized anger" about the T-3, an Air Force psychologist reported. And the cadets were uneasy too.
