LEARN SKILLS!   RESCUE LOST SPACE CHILDREN!
FIGHT EVIL ALIEN ROBOTS!   ESCORT ALIEN GRANDMOTHERS ACROSS THE GALAXY!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Space Cadet Corps needs you, as we begin our intergalactic adventures across the world campaigning for the 2006 World Science Fiction Convention! How important are the skills we teach you in the Space Cadets? Pretty darn important! Ask the lucky Cadets who learned about Advanced Robotic ControlTM...last year, a flight of Cadets found themselves on Omega 37-P and were able to topple the tyrannical Robot Overlords using only their knowledge of this handy skill, a few well-tied knots and a small supply of freeze-dried ice cream! The bravery espoused on that day is legendary!

It's even more important to attend all the lessons given at the Academy. Had these same Cadets attended courses in Interstellar Environmental ControlTM and Disconnecting Evil Overlord Supercomputer NetworksTM, they might have survived the Super-typhoons and Atmosphere Loss that spelled the end of Omega 37-P.

Your life is in your hands.
Your mother is light years away.
You've got your trusty StellArmy MegaZapTM and your supply of HappeeTube-o-FoodTM
The fate of a galaxy awaits you in the SPACE CADETS!

In the Space Cadets, you'll learn skills such as the useful Robotics, the even more useful Rocketship Piloting, the very important Deep Space Navigation, the always-esoteric Creative Mathematics and perhaps the most important of all: Interspecies Sex. Over the course of the next three years, we'll offer 30 skill badges in these skills, and others, at our convention bid parties. For the full list of bid parties, click on the menu at left! Join the Space Cadets and Learn Skills!

The Bid Committee would like to acknowledge the contributions of artists Linda Miller and Bea Barrio for their realization of many of our skills badges.
