| Hanging out with Astronauts! |
March 4-6
We returned to the Kennedy Space Station the other day! There is a lot to see and do and the attractions are very interactive, fun for kids and adults! We spent the whole day there, saw the space shuttle Atlantis, "visited" Mars, saw the Rocket Garden, and loved the IMAX movies in 3-D. One movie showed spectacular pictures of earth, taken from the international Space Station. We saw how the astronauts live on the space station. We saw a replica of the Hubble telescope and learned all about it. We also saw a replica of the spacecraft Orion, which is a big project for NASA. It will serve as a vehicle for astronauts to use to explore outer space. Future plans for Orion include a crewed journey to Mars! Our grandson's name is Orion, so we feel a connection to this project!
We are waiting out some weather, it has been very windy with gusts up to 25 miles per hour today.
