I attended Space Camp in the summer of 1984 and remember the buzz about this. Filming hadn’t started yet, but the employees were all excited that a movie was being made about the place. I’ve never watched it all the way through (not avoiding it intentionally, I just haven’t had the chance), but I remember seeing certain scenes and thinking, “that’s not at all what it’s like.” And after seeing the clip in this video, I don’t know if the scene with Joaquin Phoenix in the bunk room with the older guy is one of those “young kid sneaks in to hang with the much older kids” plot points, but we were split up into 2 age groups: kids who had already completed at least a year of high school, and those of us who hadn’t started it yet. I was going to be a freshman that fall, so I was in the younger group, and we didn’t get the cool blue suits or get to do all the simulations. I’m not sure if they did this for the high schoolers, but we were also subdivided into teams named after the planets and the sun and moon, and each team had a different colored visor. Of course I wound up on team Uranus, and whoever assigned the visor colors must have thought it was hilarious to give us the color brown, so we were constantly having “yer-anus is brown!” yelled out at us.

Part of the movie plot is that Max (Joaquin Phoenix) was a smart gifted student in school and Kevin (Tate Donavan) makes an offhand comment of Max having a 180 IQ to imply the kid was really smart. The scene where the team first assemble to receive their mission assignments from Andy and she sees Max, he begs her to let him stay with the older kids because he had already gone through "Junior Camp" the two previous summers. This movie made me want to go to Space Camp, just like Real Genius and Revenge of the Nerds wanted to make me go to college, but like all 80s movies, it was all lies.😛

Sts 51 launch the Space shuttle columbia in January 28,1986. The 7 astronauts was launching in the Space shuttle columbia 51. Then the Space shuttle columbia 51 explode in the sky. Space Camp movie in June 6,1986 and the Space Camp movie in the dvd. The Space Camp movie were for 7 astronauts.Sts-107 launch in January 16 2003 with 7 astronauts and the Space shuttle was launching in the Space. Now in February 1,2003. When the 7 astronauts were heading to earth. Sts-107 columbia Space shuttle has the hole left of the wing. When the 7 astronauts were heading to earth at 9:00am. There were a lot fire on the Space shuttle columbia and pilot astronauts were were worried. Later Space shuttle turned over then explode and the smoke line was going to the air to the ground. And the 7 astronauts were killed in the Sts-107 columbia Space shuttle. Hope the Space Camp 2 movie for 7 astronauts again.

I absolutely loved Spacecamp as a kid, I have such fond memories of hiring it out on VHS (!) & Wishing I was Max riding that space shuttle into orbit! I still consider it one of the the greatest kids movies from the 80's. Loved it

Joaquin is his birth name but all his siblings had nature names and he felt left out so that’s why he gave himself the name Leaf. After awhile he felt better about just being himself and started using Joaquin again. Also, one of Tate’s films that you forgot to mention is Love Potion No.5 with Sandra Bullock. I’m so glad you did a video on this movie. It’s always been one of my favorites.

Honestly, I was more interested in the camp aspect than the accidentally getting into space. And now I have finally gone, and I'm already planning to go again ^_^

Two minor corrections: Not every space shuttle is Challenger, and in the case of this movie, Challenger does not make an appearance. The launch footage featured in the film is from mission STS-51J, which was the maiden flight of the space shuttle Atlantis. It was not footage of a launch of the Challenger. The poster which featured a picture of a launching shuttle was also not the Challenger. The picture used in the poster is the launch of STS-2, flown by the space shuttle Columbia. Even when you cannot see the name of the orbiter clearly, each shuttle has some very unique markings and tile patterns not shared by the other shuttles, which make them easily identifiable if you know what to look for. Only Atlantis and Endeavour had virtually identical markings and tile patterns, but Endeavour had not yet been built when this movie was made.

@Dan-Black

Plus, regarding the poster, only the first two shuttle missions painted the ET white. After that, they stopped painting it due to weight savings. So any (unaltered) photo of a shuttle launch with a white ET is one of the first two missions and has the Columbia orbiter. (Note that I said photos of a shuttle _launch_ . I think the Enterprise and maybe even the Challenger may have been mounted on the ET for tests during development. The Enterprise was a test orbiter and, among other things, was released from the 747 for landing tests. The Challenger also began as a test vehicle, and it was actually older than Columbia, but wasn't converted to a fully operational orbiter (and named) until after Columbia had flown.)

I so empathized with Max's quip that set the entire movie into motion "I wish I could just go into space" or something along that line. It's been a few years since I have seen the movie. But that single line spoke to me so much cause it stated how bad I myself wanted to go up.

Space Camp, Vertical Limit, Night of the Comet are some of my favorite movies from the 80s. Great decade!

I really can get why marketing this movie was hard. Since the civilian, Christa McCauliffe, was a teacher, all of the schools had teachers who had tried out for the position. Space Camp was also being promoted heavily on children's network Nickelodeon, even being offered as a grand prize on a popular game show called Double Dare. Therefore, I would say, almost every classroom had the space launch showing live in their class. Only to see it explode live on TV. The kids had such a hard time with it that some children TV programs addressed it to help kids cope. I specifically remember an episode of a show called Punky Brewster that featured the main character witnessing the explosion in her class and following how she emotionally dealt with the issue. This should have been shelved with a delayed release.

Great choice, a forgotten classic. Keep up the good work.👍🏻👍🏻 The best teachers make it interesting.

I was a teenager in the 80's and watched both the challenger disaster and the movie. Thinking back they could have pushed release back for a year and rework a few scenes to insert the challenger disaster as a motive. That would have made a big difference. It was a very difficult time and a national tragedy akin to losing a president. It never knew it lost money but the movie was pretty good for me. Thanks Minty. Love these historical videos you do on older movies. it's a trip through time for me. Thank you.

I was in middle school when Challenger exploded. Didn't go outside to watch the launch like we usually did. We had a NASA assembly that morning. The models were soo cool. Not a day I'll ever forget. Was also at KSC the day Columbia didn't land. Very creepy day, so many people yet quiet. Love this movie. RIP Tish

This is my favorite movie from the 80's. I saw it in 29 Palms, Ca at the Drive in theater. I begged my parents to see it as we were right across the bay when the Challenger launched and exploded. I'll be honest every time I see an image of a shuttle launch, I get tears. At this movie it was bad being so soon after the disaster. But I absolutely love the movie.

I was born in 1974. The Challenger tragedy was the first personal/nation wide tragedy I experienced as a child. I begged my parents to take me to see Space Camp on opening day. And the Challenger was always in the back of my mind. But, when Space Camp came to HBO, I taped it and watched it religiously every other day.

God, I remember how much I loved this movie when it first came out. Made the feeling of becoming an astronaut so much more possible...

That movie did not age well

I loved the movie when it first came out. Back then I collected almost every newspaprer article I could find about the Challenger accident, which ended with the "Back in Space" front page news. Also, check the movie "Meteor" with Sean Connery back in 1979. The spaceship that gets destroyed in the beginning, is named "Challenger II".

For people wondering how and why Williams scored this, he had an opening in his schedule when Spielberg's musical of Peter Pan fell apart and his friend - Fox music head Lionel Newman - told him about this project and he came onboard to do it and ended up having the main theme for the movie reused for decades after as trailer music for other films

I had totally forgotten that the movie came out after the Challenger disaster. Looking back I think the movie was a great tribute to the spirit of space exploration. Through there is great danger, there is also great rewards and knowledge to be gained. My thoughts and prayers for the families and friends of those lost to the great endeavor of the exploration of space.

The movie as good as it is always made me think that it was always a ploy intended as a way for NASA to encourage kids into astronomy and all the science NASA studies through entertainment purposes. Also I never realized that was actually Phoenix in that movie.

Right, I was in 5th grade class when they wheeled the TV in for us to watch, then ....

Just watched this two weeks ago. Really good movie.

Have you thought of doing a list on Terrorvision?

I had this movie on VHS thanks to HBO, and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, Minty!

One of your best episodes! I remember seeing this on cable in the late 80s, but didn't really know anything about it.

A lot of cocaine went into the development of this bizarre 80s gem.

If I had to guess I'd say that cocaine went into the development of 90% of the movies that came out of the movies in the USA in the 80s..

Barry Seal = a real american. Thank your corrupt politician such as Bush's and Clinton's for their wonderful contribution by orchestrating the delivery of massive amounts of cocaine if you are a american. And if you aren't a american.., well then, GO F YOURSELF!!! MERICA BITCHES!!!!!!!

It was the boom of cocaine distribution in the 70s and 80s that directly lead to the merchandising wars of 1980s saturday morning cartoons that made each new series a bona-fide, marketable, toyetic rollercoaster ride of 22-minute advertisements that rocked kid's socks every afternoon after school and saturday morning. Then, when the production companies of the 80s cartoons ran out of coke in the mid90s, they had no choice but to switch to meth by the 2000s. This lead directly to the production of Teen Titans Go. *The more you know...*

How in the hell didn't i know about superboy television series

Minty, Spacecamp (or “An adventure in space”, as it is known here in Brazil) is one of my favorite childhood films. I watched several times on VHS. Thank you very much for talking about this movie, and congratulations for your fantastic channel!

We Americans revere the memory of the Challenger crew, and their sacrifice. Space exploration was never guaranteed safe, and their bravery carries us forward.

I watched it live when I was in high school. It was one of the saddest things I've _ever_ seen. That Y-shaped image will forever be seared into my memory, _as it should be._ RIP Challenger Crew. We are eternally grateful for your sacrifice. 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Minty! Do Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon. It's literally the best movie ever made. Also, the Matrix basically ripped off the story and turned it into a sci fi film.

Family Guy made a parody about this movie. Chris goes to space camp and the family comes to visit and accidentally gets launched into space lol.

Just love your shows.

Little-known fact: the scene where Lea Thompson is in the multi-axis trainer has her trying to "stabilize" it with a joystick. The problem is, that's not what the MAT is for, and the joystick was a fake one. You can't stabilize it - the whole point is to acclimate you to being disoriented.

Minty, you should grow a charlie chaplain mustache.

I remember renting this at the video store in the 90's I enjoyed it so much I purchased it.

Loving your channel. Would love to hear behind the scene stuff about D.A.R.Y.L. Listen to Me, and Quarterback Princess!

I loved this movie!! Thanks for being back another wonderful childhood memory!

Man, Lea Thompson needed to fire her agent after this and Howard the Duck!!

No mention of Megatron for Frank Welker? The role he's mainly known for.

This is another of my favorites! Ty Minty!

This was a great movie. Thanks for doing this one!! Loved it.
