I was not able to take the NASA tour, as the heat and humidity would have probably sent me to the hospital. So, I found a place to sit and wait, which happened to be the food court, which had some neat arty things hanging from the ceiling!

So peaceful, one almost forgets the cacophony of noise from all the students visiting!

A couple more Shuttle-related items to note:

For awhile, we thought this was all the “Shuttle” we would ever have…

Houston, WE HAVE A SHUTTLE! #eep

And, last but not least (yes this is was actually in the entrance!):

A new Launch System for a new generation!

Happy WW, y’all! See everyone next week!
