We were able to go to the Johnson Space Center and explore and learn more about what goes on there. Tons of fun, Emma was really sad when we walked in the door and she wanted to go play and I wanted a pic;)
Riding the train to take our tour, she thought she was such a big girl!
I couldn't believe this liquid nitrogen was negative 360 degrees!!
In one of the buildings they had all of this equipment where the astronauts used to train for going into space.
This was a REAL astronaut! Lucky us, we got to see him getting filmed for something!!
This building is 8 stories high and this filled the entire space, crazy big!
Those little white things are what they will be using to send to Mars to explore!
Now this guy!!! If you can't tell it is a robot and guess how much it cost.......32 million dollars!!!!! It was the most expensive piece of equipment in the entire building! Wow!
A monument of trees planted in remembrance of Astronauts that have lost their lives during their mission into space.
Completely amazing to see the life size of all of these rockets, and the details of them, it is mind blowing to my little brain;)
Now this was completely awesome and a once in a lifetime experience! Kels had informed us that the last Shuttle to the moon was going to be launch so we needed to go to the Space Center to watch and wow what an incredible thing! We were able to go in this theater room and watch from the point of the Houston control center and see what they were seeing as the ship Anastasia launched in Florida!! Completely amazing!! I had goosebumps as it took off, you could see part of the Earth from the ship and listen to what the astronauts were saying to the Houston control center! Even though emma won't remember it, I will at least be able to tell her she was there to watch!!
Then we were able to check out all of the exhibits which were fun and interesting!! Definitely a place worth visiting!
