What an interesting place to visit. We visited over two days. The exhibits are well done. I rarely think about space travel. It was so inspiring to think about how the space program started from just a few ideas. I guess that is how it is with all new explorers who go off into the unknown.
We were there ten days before a launch. The shuttle was already on the launch pad being prepared for take off. This is as close as people are allowed to be during launch. They told us that the sound alone from the engines is enough to kill you if you are any closer.
This is a retired astronaut. His name is John McBride. We told him that there are McBrides in my family and that Braden's middle name is McBride. He believes that his family is from the same area of Missouri and thought we may be related in some way. It was so nice to talk with him.
