HOUSTON - DAY 3

I made it to NASA ....

Moon rock I touched (approx. 2" x 3")

Red phone was the Mission Control team’s direct link to the US Department of Defense

NASA's Johnson Space Center is the home of astronaut training and Mission Control. Our tram stopped at the historic Mission Control Center and the Saturn V Complex. 

Mission Control Center


The first words Neil Armstrong uttered as Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon in 1969 were: “Houston, Tranquility base here—the Eagle has landed" was heard from this machine.

I'm impressed with Houston's public transportation.  Their buses and metros have all been timely allowing me to move around the city and to visit NASA.  Houston is a GREAT city to visit!!
