We had been to Cape Canaveral in Florida a few years back where they do the space launches but today, we went to Mission Control in Houston. What a fantastic job this government agency has done in trying to include the general public with regards to what space travel has meant to our country.
After touring the 747 and its shuttle companion we took a 90 minute tram tour through the entire NASA campus:
One stop on our tram tour was in a huge building that housed all the working experiments going on to guarantee future missions are successful.
One of our final stops on the tram tour was a HUGE building that housed a Saturn V rocket. This rocket is actually the only remaining one that is deemed space travel ready if needed.
Here are a few remaining photos we thought worthy of a view for you:
Major Tom to Ground Control!
A very interesting and educational experience!
