"Houston, we have a problem"

As I mentioned in a previous blog, we took the kids to The Houston Space Center, NASA. This time we made sure we got on the right tour tram, (there are 3). We wanted to be sure to see the Mission Control room. It was in use from the 1960's up until 1996. It was the famous place for "Houston, we have a problem" (obviously) for Apollo 13. We got to sit in the viewing room where all the presidents of the U.S. since Johnson have sat along with several celebrities. We learned a lot of interesting facts about historical space events and got to see all kinds of artifacts. Of course, we are going to have to watch Apollo 13 again now that we are equipped with all this new knowledge.


Mac wanted to make sure you got the point.
