Description

Embark on the ultimate space adventure with a trip to the Moon! With SpaceX’s Starship, you can experience a lunar journey like never before. After launching from Earth, you’ll travel beyond low Earth orbit, making history as you approach the Moon’s surface. Feel the thrill of weightlessness, witness Earth from the moon’s perspective, and land on the lunar surface, where you’ll have the chance to explore the Moon’s landscape. This groundbreaking mission promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience, allowing you to be part of humanity’s return to the Moon.

The astronaut training program for space tourists is designed to prepare you for the unique challenges of space travel, ensuring you have the skills and confidence to enjoy the experience safely. The program typically includes several key elements:

Pre-flight Training: You’ll undergo briefings on what to expect during the flight, including the sensations of weightlessness, G-forces, and the launch and re-entry phases. This will help familiarize you with the spacecraft and its systems.
Physical Conditioning: Space travel can be physically demanding, so you’ll take part in exercises to prepare your body for the effects of space, such as G-force simulations to mimic launch and re-entry acceleration. You’ll also practice safety procedures and emergency protocols.
Simulations: To ensure you’re comfortable with the environment, you’ll participate in zero-gravity training, where you’ll experience weightlessness in a specially designed environment. Simulators help you practice movement in space, such as floating and adjusting your body orientation.
Health and Safety Briefings: You’ll learn how to use space suits, manage in-flight health issues, and navigate the cabin. Medical experts will review your health to ensure you’re fit for space, and you’ll be trained on emergency procedures and how to handle unexpected situations.
Orientation on Spacecraft Systems: Astronaut tourists will also be trained on how to interact with the spacecraft, including seat adjustments, navigation controls, and using the communication system during the flight.

The training program lasts a few days to a week, depending on the mission’s complexity, and aims to make your journey as enjoyable and safe as possible. It’s all about getting you ready for a transformative experience in space!

April Fools’ Day, celebrated on April 1st, is a lighthearted day of pranks and jokes, where people play tricks on each other in good fun. The tradition dates back centuries, but its exact origins are unclear. One theory is that it dates to the 16th century when France switched from the Julian calendar (with New Year’s Day on April 1) to the Gregorian calendar (with New Year’s Day on January 1). Those who continued celebrating on April 1 were called “April fools” and became targets for pranks.

Today, people around the world engage in harmless tricks, ranging from small practical jokes to elaborate hoaxes, all aimed at catching someone off guard or making them laugh. The key to a successful April Fools’ prank is that it’s meant to be lighthearted and in good spirit, and it’s usually revealed before the end of the day to avoid any hard feelings. The day is also embraced by media outlets and companies, who often share funny or absurd stories to entertain their audiences.

Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions

Current Student Status

LEAP Activities are only for current students. Graduates/alumni/past students are not eligible to participate. If you are not able to prove that you are a current student, your ticket will be cancelled, and no refund will be issued. TRU provides LEAP with a list of students who are currently enrolled in classes. If your name is not on the list, you are not eligible.

Individual Tickets – One Per Student

Students must book their own tickets. You cannot book for anyone else. Any duplicate bookings will be cancelled, and no refund will be issued.

Payment

Payment must be made online before your ticket is secured. The ticket will be confirmed once payment is made and you have signed the waiver.

Tickets are Non-Refundable and Non-Changeable

Please ensure that you will be able to attend before booking a ticket. No refunds will be issued if you cancel your ticket. You cannot transfer your ticket to anyone else.

Cancellation Policy

If you will not be able to attend a LEAP event after booking a ticket, please let us know as soon as possible so we can fill your spot with another student. If you cancel at least 3 days prior to the activity, we should have time to fill your spot. No refund will be given, and no penalty will be charged.

Late Cancellation Penalty

If you cancel less than 3 days prior to an activity, a penalty of $20 will be issued. Your account will be suspended. You will not be able to participate in any LEAP activities until you pay the penalty.

No-Show Penalty

If you cancel less than 24 hours before the activity or do not show up at the designated time and place, a no-show penalty of $30 will be issued. Your account will be suspended. You will not be able to participate in any LEAP activities until you pay the penalty.

Waivers

For legal reasons, it is necessary to fill out waivers for every activity. The waivers for LEAP (coordinated by Interactive Adventures) must be completed online in order to confirm your ticket. Activity providers require their own waivers to be filled out as well. Come to the LEAP desk during office hours if you need assistance.
View an example waiver

Each activity involves a level of risk. Accidents can happen. The waiver acknowledges that you are aware that there are risks, choose to accept the risk, and will not hold the coordinator, activity providers, or the university liable.

Please take time to review, understand, and sign the waiver(s). You must be at least 19 years of age to participate.

Commitment Fee versus Actual Cost

The price that students pay for a LEAP activity is heavily subsidized. The actual cost including transportation is often at least double or triple the price that students pay.

The student price is a commitment fee. It does not cover the actual costs of the activity. If a student books a trip and cancels or does not show up, LEAP must still pay the actual cost even if nobody uses the ticket or the seat on the bus. This is why we have a strict cancellation policy. Penalties for late cancellations and no shows do not cover the actual cost but will hopefully encourage students to show respect when booking or cancelling tickets.

Insurance

Insurance is required in order to participate. You must have current valid insurance (MSP or GuardME) or you will not be allowed on an activity. It is your responsibility to provide this information on your account profile. Tickets will not be refunded if you fail to prove that you have appropriate medical insurance.

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS & RESPONSIBILITIES

The LEAP program is designed to involve students. All participants are expected to help ensure that each experience is a positive one. If there is an issue, please bring it to the attention of a LEAP leader. There will always be things that we are not able to control such as traffic and the weather. However, if you have suggestions that you or the group can do to make the experience better, please share your thoughts.

It is appreciated when participants are willing to help with tasks that need to be done such as loading supplies, setting up, and cleaning up. This is a shared responsibility. Students are expected to be helpful and considerate.

Participants all share the responsibility of shaping the activities. A positive attitude and active involvement will contribute to activities going smoothly and enjoyably.

Safety

Students are expected to behave safely at all times. Be aware of your surroundings, watch for hazardous situations, and do not take unnecessary risks. Students must listen to the LEAP leaders. If students are being unsafe or fail to listen to the LEAP leaders their account may be suspended indefinitely and could be banned from future LEAP activities.

Respect

Students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Harassment, abuse, and illegal activity will not be tolerated.

Be Prepared

Participants are responsible for themselves. You are expected to show up on time at meeting locations. Bring appropriate clothing. Bring food and water. Bring any medicine or supplies that you may need.

Read the itinerary, look at a map, and research the activity. LEAP leaders are here to provide opportunities to participate in activities, events, and excursions. It is up to you to get to know what to expect and decide how you would like to spend your time within the planned itinerary.

Travel Time and Distance

Canada is a large country. Be prepared to spend many hours on a bus to get to your destination.

Itinerary Changes

From time to time there will be circumstances that will cause changes to an itinerary. The LEAP team will do our best to adapt and deal with the circumstances. Students are expected to be understanding, able to adapt and adjust to any changes that occur.

Be on Time

The LEAP team will try to stick with the planned itinerary as closely as possible. Students are expected to be punctual. Please arrive early to ensure that we are on time. The bus will not wait for someone who is late. If the student misses a bus, it will be their responsibility to find their own way home. Taxis can be very expensive, so make sure you don’t get left behind.
