Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who played Kathryn in the movie?

Answer: Lea Thompson

Lea Thompson had previously appeared in "Back to the Future" and "Jaws 3-D", and would go on to appear in "Howard the Duck" and "Some Kind of Wonderful". She also starred in a popular sitcom: "Caroline in the City".

2. What was the name of the robot in the movie?

Answer: Jinx

In the movie, Jinx was created to help out in the space station. However, it is now a multi-million dollar handy-man because its chips became unreliable after a few hours!

3. What event coincided with the film's release, possibly causing its poor box office performance?

Answer: The Challenger disaster

Some feel that the Challenger explosion was too fresh in people's minds at the time of the movie's release, and caused people to not see it in the theaters.

4. Finish this quote: "Whip me, beat me, take away my ______, NASA's talking!"

Answer: charge cards

Tish says this when she realizes that NASA is finally responding to her Morse code messages!

5. What actor played Max in the movie?

Answer: Leaf Phoenix

Leaf is now using another name: Joaquin Phoenix. So little Max grew up to be a Roman emperor ("Gladiator") and a failed baseball player helping his brother fight aliens ("Signs").

6. Where was the movie shot?

Answer: U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama

The idea of the real space camp came from the German scientist, Wernher von Braun. Today over 4,000 youngsters (the oldest attendees are 17 years old) graduate each year from the program.

7. What problem did NASA believe occurred in the shuttle, causing it to be launched into space?

Answer: thermal curtain failure

Jinx somehow caused the problem while the gang was sitting inside the shuttle during a test of the shuttle's solid rocket boosters. How realistic that the response to such a problem would be to send a poorly supplied shuttle into space with a crew of one adult and five children is a whole other question!

8. What is the name of the character played by Kate Capshaw?

Answer: Andie

Kate Capshaw can also be seen in the movies "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", "The Love Letter", and "Just Cause".

9. Why does Rudy intially say he wanted to come to Space Camp?

Answer: Because he wanted to have the first fast food restaurant in space.

Rudy tells this to Kevin when they are walking to their dorm. He later says that he likes science, but is not very good at it. Kevin's father coaxed him to attend the camp with a Jeep. Kathryn attends Space Camp because she wants to be the first female shuttle commander. Tish is in Space Camp because of an interest in communicating with extra-terrestrials. Max pretends that he is Luke Skywalker.

10. What ability does Tish possess?

Answer: She has a photographic memory.

Tish says that she can remember everything that she reads, and that it is such a drag sometimes because her brain becomes too cluttered.
