    "I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really…read morelived up to their expectations." - Buzz Aldrin, the Second Man to Walk On the Moon "I think the International Space Station is providing a key bridge from us living on Earth to going somewhere into deep space." - Peggy Whitson, the First Woman to Command the ISS "If you were to shrink the Earth to the size of a basketball, human beings have not been more than half an inch off its surface in 52 years." - Anon Some time ago, I installed the "ISS Tracker" app on my phone. It monitors where I am (I travel a lot) and it lets me know with a five minute warning that the International Space Station is passing overhead. If it's a clear night, I'll step outside and look. This evening, I was in Charlotte and at 8:52 PM, the bright light that wasn't an airplane and wasn't a star appeared over the roof of one of my neighbors. Over the next four minutes, the dot silently swept across the sky and disappeared. Seven humans, 257 miles up in space, moving at 17153 miles per hour. Thanks, NASA. Keep on keeping on. It really seems like a miracle but it's just science and math. Very complicated science and very complicated math. [Review 445 of 2024 - 455 in Texas - 21478 overall]

    Cool place, but I went with my two young kids (3 and 1). Not a place for them even though they…read moretolerated it well. I'll try again when they are older and can appreciate it.

    Overall, the museum was pretty neat and informational. I was expecting more exhibits and artifacts,…read morebut the museum is largely video media based. There were a handful of theatres for guests to sit in and experience various historical moments pertaining to space exploration. We only watched "Moon Walkers" narrated by Tom Hanks. Independence Plaza: A quick walk from the Space Center Museum. It is about 3-4 stories high with exhibits inside of it (air conditioned). A lot of the tram tours are a first come first served basis. We didn't go to all the tram stops (complimentary with your ticket), but we did stop at George W.S. Abbey Rocket Park Tour. It was cool to see! Parking: The parking is charged separately on top of the tickets.

    Do you know any moon landing deniers? I do, unfortunately. And the Space Center is full of all…read morekinds of information that you can use to disprove their inane arguments. Other things you should know about the Space Center: -It's a huge campus, and the museum itself is only a small portion. -My wife went 15 years ago, and it's gotten a LOT better apparently. So if you haven't been in a decade or more, give it another shot. -They don't have much pertaining to the recent Artemis mission. We went as the astronauts were heading around the moon, but we didn't see any current info. -It's great for kids, especially over the age of six or so. -You should book some tours in advance. By the time we got up there, most things were sold out except Rocket Park. -Rocket Park is still cool. The sheer size of the Saturn is incredible. Take the little trolley and say hi to the longhorns. -The Food Lab (the food court) is hit or miss. The salad bar was surprisingly great, and the pizza is abysmal. DO NOT GET THE PIZZA. -You should go in with an open mind, ready to learn. That goes for everything, not just the Space Center. -You know where astronauts hang out? At the space bar. (This joke works better with a drawing of an astronaut passed out on a keyboard.)
