The above pic is the space shuttle sitting on the launch pad, waiting to launch.
(Unfortunately this is Night 1 of "Waiting for the Launch."  It didn't launch until night 3 because of bad weather & malfunctions.)

This is the space shuttle as it is hurling out of our atmosphere.  (It's the coolest thing we've ever seen.)

This is a module that will be on the international space station soon.

This is what it looks like inside one of the space station modules.


This is a life size replica of the shuttle and the boosters / fuel tank.
We got to go inside of it to check it out.  It's bigger than you think.

This is the Saturn 12, Apollo spacecraft.


This is A Spaceman


This is My Spaceman, a future astronaut.


This is a replica of the lander

This is a moon rock that we got to touch.


This is me next to another replica of the moon buggy.

This is the actual room where they launched the Apollo missions.


This is the building where the Shuttle and rockets come out.  It's Huge!


This is a launch pad.

This big thing is the "crawler."  It carries the shuttle/rocket/etc. to the launch pad.
One tread on its tracks weighs 1 ton (and just imagine how many treads it has).  It's huge.


This is a picture of us taken by a really nice family with the cutest kids.
We hot, sweaty, tired, dying of thirst, but we're still smiling.
