After the city tour we took a 30 minute shuttle to the Space Centre.
First stop was a 60 minute tram tour around part of the nearly 600 acres of campus like buildings.
Mission Control Centre.
They have kept everything as it was back in July 1969 when those famous words were uttered....
.one small leap for man...one giant step for mankind.
We walked up the 87 steps to view the control room with the original equipment in behind glass of course.
It is amazing to think what they did achieve with the small amount of technology available at the time compared to what we have today
This showed us all the different sections that are used to propell the lunar module into space.
The girls with the men that walked on the moon
A replica of the shuttle mounted on top of the historic shuttle carrier aircraft NASA 905

Some interesting facts...there has only been 2 female commanders
There have been 157 space walks.
28,000 Ks per hour is reasonably fast
