I just visited The Johnson Space Center today. if ya ever have the chance to go there, DO IT!

they have all sorts of mock-ups , moon rocks, even a moon rock you can touch. suits to look at. lots of stuff. it was very fun.

I took some pictures and will try to get them all uploaded to the site.

but the coolest part of the visit was getting to go to the ISS Control Room. I went there at around 2:30 Central time. I figured to end this post ide give a report of the situation at that time.

at that time The ISS was in orbit around India, both the Expedition 12 and 13 Crews were asleep. and Communications signals were currently bad, allthough by the time our tour moved on the Communications signals were back to normal. original.gif
