Houston 4/5 - Mission Complete

We did it!  We made it to all 3 space centers in 3 months!  Boring you say, it's all the same space.

 Au contraire mon frere.

  Each site had a different focus on how the space system came to be and is managed.

Kennedy - Launch

Huntsville - Rocket development and Space Camp

Houston - Mission Management and preparation

How the shuttle gets back to Cape Kennedy

Model ready for launch

 Another milestone on the nerd checklist - we now have seen all 3 remaining Saturn 5 rockets!

 We got to tour the shuttle mock up on top of the transit airplane.  The airplane had a great exhibit on how they had to modify the plane as well as the different uses for training as well as transport.

Another checklist completed - since Kennedy we have been looking for all the mission patches from missions where Coast Guardsmen were aboard.  We finally found our favorite one!!!

Pretty much done for space for now - till we hit the space walk training grounds - do you know where that is?
