There is a family friendly museum at the space center. It has the dorky movies, the interactive games, and scientific exhibits etc. It was fun to wander around and learn about life in space. And we enjoyed acting like kids. Just a little bit.
This is a copy of the screenplay of Apollo 13, signed by the actors. It was in a case with a bunch of other souvenirs/memorabilia from the film. It's one of my favorites.
As part of the museum we took a tram to the real Lyndon B. Johnson NASA Space Center. Here we got to see the buildings where NASA employees work and train.
This is mission control. The mission control room where Gene Kranz directed the Apollo missions, including Apollo 13. Cool, huh!
Paul poses with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Mike Collins of Apollo 11.
Above are some pictures of a training facility that they let us see.
The last thing that we saw was the largest rocket in the world! You really can't tell how big it is from the pictures.
We had a really fun time.
