around 10:30. Not very crowded; only one other RV in the lot. Way too
much to describe. Saw the iMax movie of the International Space
Station, another of the shuttle missions, the vault where the moon
rocks are kept and many examples of the capsules, space suits and
equipment of the entire space program. Took a tram tour to see the
original 1960's Mission Control where the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo
missions were controlled. A lot smaller than it looks on tv. The first
and last word ever transmitted from the moon was "Houston". Saw the
huge facility where they assemble and test docking modules, Mars
rovers and future equipment for the Orion missions. Then we saw the
only unused Saturn V rocket that was supposed to be Apollo 18.
Indescribably huge. The wiring used in it looks like its from a 1950's
house.
I may stay here one more day. It's a very nice park and there are a
bunch of other museums and stuff here. Mt neighbors, Paul & Lisa from
Houston are really nice, too.
Has cooled of to the low 80's during the day and 60's at night.
