Shan Tora has returned to earth, to Ozarklandia to be exact.
Her parents shot her off to Space Camp and after orbiting for a week, she is slowly returning to earth.
Shan Tora's team took first place among the competition in Level 1 at the Space Camp.
They made rockets and shot them off; Shan Tora's rocket went 210 feet in the air.
Shan Tora rode the 4 G Centrifuge at the 4 G level for 25 minutes meaning that her weight was about 400 pounds (Your weight times 4). Some of the guys gave up at the 2 G level. Wusses!
She also went on the multi-active trainer, she rode a Falcon simulator and learned many things about outerspace.
Finally, she was awarded very nice Astronaut wings. They are really neat and look much like a pilots wings.
The training was at the Comosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas.
It was a great camp and she hopes to return next year at Level 2.
A few pictures are shown above.
