You knew I was going to say that. We went to the Houston Space museum and it was worth the time and money. I was surprised that only the building where you enter is a museum and the rest of the site is still being used by NASA. We took a 90 minute tram tour. Stopped by the room where launch control was until the 90's. The flag in on of these pictures was taken to the moon on Apollo 14 but as a back up flag. One of the buildings had there mock ups for the space shuttle and space station. They use them as a training aid. Now that the space shuttle has ended the room will be changed over to Orion the next NASA space craft. There are around 10,000 people working here on new projects and ongoing space station projects. 4 miles from here they have the pool where they train for weightlessness. We have moved to Baton Rouge La. Will be here for a few days then on to Jackson Miss. Jackie has family up there.
