NASA SPACE CENTER or Johnson Space Center-HOUSTON. The tram tour took us to Saturn 5 building and where astronauts train for the International Space Station which has replica of Russian and US connection to teh space station. They have developed a prototype of new moon buggy with 12 wheels for 2030 use(left picture-looks like 2 bugs). Last shuttle mission is this Thursday, because a congressman slipped into a bill after Obama ended the space shuttle program. 41,000 employees. The space center $23 entree fee w/o discount($5 OFF ON WEB) and $18 for 2 hotdogs and cokes makes me think they are working on sustainability.Lots of history, memorabilia and fun activities, especially for kids.

I couldn't get Mike to put his head thru the austronaut space suit photo opp, but when we get to the off shore oil museum the next day, he wants me to take a picture of him as a driller. Go figure! (He looked exactly the same except his shirt said "EUREKA!"
