Again it was the luckiest day for me.Space Center Houston is the official visitor center of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center—the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) center for human spaceflight activities is located in Houston, Texas. Currently, the facility is operated by the nonprofit Manned Spaceflight Educational Foundation Incorporated with design input from Walt Disney Engineering and designed by award-winning experience designer Bob Rogers and the design team BRC Imagination Arts.
Actually i got chance to visit the NASA by my captain Ajay Duhan. He is mainland Indian. Actually he set a dealing with me to visit the NASA. the dealing was have to complete all his computer based training within a month. the dealing was good and i really eager to visit NASA too. so put my full effort to complete all his CBT. finally the day arrived to visit the NASA.
So i went there along with my captain family and other ship crews. we almost spend half day there to get to know about the NASA.The ticket price was quiet expensive because off the public holiday.
A tram tour of JSC includes Building 30 (location of the Historic and Chris Kraft Mission Control Centers), Building 9 (location of the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility), and Rocket Park with its restored Saturn V.
This Saturn V rocket is made up of first stage from SA-514, the second stage from SA-515 and the third stage from SA-513, which was unneeded after it was replaced by the Skylab workshop. The restored Saturn V, on loan from the Smithsonian, is on display after it sat exposed to outdoor elements from 1977 through 2004, leading to exterior weather damage and plants, molds, and small animals inside the stages. In 2004 the Smithsonian took over and began efforts to restore the vehicle through a grant from the National Park Service's Save America's Treasures program and the National Trust for Historic Preservation along with private contributions
When I was there i got to know a new friend who is a junior scientist , the journey of our friendship continues still as I am still having touch with her. When the sun of opportunity shines upon me I surely will visit
