saturday/sunday (aka spring vacation wind down)

houston space center today...educational day for all...space stations traveling at 17,500 mph...failure is not an option speeches...touring the actual astronaut training center - they must have off on the weekends...visiting the actual mission control center from apollo 13 with real rotary phones...walking alongside apollo 18 - it never launched due to lack of funds...attempted to land an almost real space shuttle...one extra long tram ride...one extra long flight of stairs -87 in all...one high school musical poster - not sure what was space related about that dance performance...one small step for man, one big museum for us! our second time here and we still have not made it through all the exhibits...we'll be back soon...
