You cannot go to Houston and NOT go to the NASA Space Center, if you've never been there before. Amazing science and technology. You wonder if it's a shame that it's all being put "on the back burner" with no future endeavors planned.
We specifically chose to tour the facility where the astronauts do their training. Learning how they simulated weightlessness, and how they were able to move objects, in training, that were massively "overweight" in the reality of the gravity from earth.
Many different parts to the training modules.
The rocket from the Moon landing was on display...all of the separate stages were HUGE.
It looks sort of "BIG"...but sort of itty bitty...at least "not really big" when you see it on TV.However, It's HUGE!!!!!
Ron got some good shots of Rocket park.
And the ARM that does a lot of the work.
If you've never been there...you really need to put it on your BUCKET LIST. There is currently a petition going on to try to bring the recovery shuttle to the site at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
