Mission controllers hard at work in another room

The Gemini astronauts were childhood heroes.

Concrete reflectors

I used to buy this stuff.

Space shuttle modules have lofty names.

The escape capsule - can you imagine?

Shuttle names - two retired, obviously

The world's coolest ATV

The Canadarm has an impressive number of joints.

There may be moon rocks in this building - the narration on the tram tour was hard to follow.

The Redstone rocket carried the Mercury astronauts into space.

The Saturn V rocket, the largest ever, propelled US astronauts to the moon.

Astronauts Grissom, White and Chaffee died in a tragic accident during training/testing for Apollo 1.

Another big rocket. I didn't catch the name.

A flag flies on this mast whenever there's a US astronaut in space.

Here are photos from a recent visit to the NASA Space Center in Houston, TX
