Last night @corinnestokes saw a friend post on Facebook about this amazing museum in Huntsville, Alabama which is less than 2 hours away. Of course, I responded with, "You want to go tomorrow?"
So here's what we did today on Sunday, June 25th. We had a blast!
When we first showed up, I didn't even realize this is where Space Camp happens! Campers were lining up for that week.
My crew.
At first I thought this was an SR71 but it's actually an A-12. I didn't realize they were different.
The scale of this place and these rockets is so hard to capture with my phone. The are massive!
So much cool stuff inside.
Ever since Star Trek, I was thinking of Voyager 1 as V'ger.
The tour for the ISS was pretty amazing.
Note the caution label: Urine
I allowed myself one selfie with @corinnestokes, though the lighting was terrible.
Well, maybe two selfies if you count my reflection on this one:
Aria was sad in this one because she had lost her stuffed animal (which we warned her not to bring because she might lose it). We ended up retrieving it from the lost and found at the end of the day.
They even had some rides for the little ones.
And for the adults.
The scale of these things... they are just enormous.
There's no way I could capture the magnitude of the Saturn V hall. This entire building could barely hold how massive this rocket is.
Here's the second stage boosters.
This is just the tip (okay, okay, no Archer joke here).
They had all kinds of amazing stuff in here.
I hope you enjoyed this picture journey. If you ever get a chance to visit the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, I highly recommend it! Also, because we're annual members of the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, we got in for free! Speaking of the Science Center, do you remember when I posted last week about seeing moon rocks (and they were tiny)?
Now, THIS is a moon rock!
To the moon, STEEM. Let's get us some more rocks. :)
I hope you had a great Saturday with your loved ones as well.
