We got to go on a tour of Johnson Space Center and see some of the working and past, history making, areas of the Center.
The actual Mission Control room where all of the NASA missions were carried out throughout the late 70's and into the 80's, including the moon landings.
This man actually worked in Mission Control during some of the most memorable moments in history. On another fun note and an interesting piece of history, he stated that the first and last word (to date) spoken on the moon was Houston.
A quick check to see if Celestra is having fun. Hmm.. Not sure there.What do you think?
This stuff is kept at -320 degrees F! Brrrrr
A functional mock-up of the space shuttle used by Astronauts in training
Yep she's definately having a good time
The robotic arm used in the shuttles for extra-vehicular work
A memorial for all lost Astronauts. Each tree represents an Astronaut who has died either through natural causes or through accidents during performance of their duties. The latest trees were planted after the Columbia explosion.
A VERY tall rocket
The engine to a rocket
A scale view for y0u of the bottom of the rocket
Same idea
and again...
and just one more for fun.
A texas long horn on NASA land?
The building this rocket is housed in is about 2 football fields long.
After the tour we headed back to the Visitors side of the Space Center for some more fun.
Cele playing with a mock-up of a space shuttle
Where is the best place to expand the reserve in Africa (Kenya area) to encompass the movement of the elephant herds? Asks this particular simulation.
What is GPS?
How heavy would you be on Mars? Cele won't reveal her weight but she also got to see how heavy she would be on Jupiter and Mercury.
"Space Shuttle this is Mission Control. Do you read?"
Celestra's hand touching a moon rock
Ever wonder how they shower on the International Space Station? Well now you know.
Can Celestra land the space shuttle? Well she certainly crashed it more than she managed to land it.
A mock-up of an airplanes controls
Cele flying an airplane now? Sure makes me glad she doesn't have any REAL liscences yet!
So meteorologist Anderson what does the weather call for today?

the land to raise the long horns.
