We got our nerd on again in Huntsville. It has come to my attention that we have seen all 3 of the Airstream Decontamination Quarantines, 4 of 5 re-entry modules and all of the Saturn 5 Rockets on Display. I think we have met the space and rocketry requirement for school this year! In some ways this was very similar to the Kennedy Space Center but had a bit of a different spin because it was where the rocket development was happening with Werner VonBraun.

| Alabama had their own early flyer - just after the Wright Brothers |
 |
| Second Stage rockets - Tons of fuel - short burst |
 |
| Trying to be weightless on the moon! |
They had a really neat ISS exhibit - they actually use it to train Space Campers!
 |
| Did you know they ring people aboard the International Space Station just like a ship? |
 |
| All 5 services have been aboard the ISS |
That night was the Super Blood Wolf Moon. 3 of us piled into the truck to stay warm and watch the eclipse - it was pretty Cool in many ways (thermometer read 27 degrees).
