Most/all picasaweb pictures are lost in the winds, unfortunately.

@ -20,6 +20,8 @@ I suggested to take a look at the Nasa spacecenter in Houston so we drove there,
We were in luck though, because it was open after all! The space center was okay i guess, but i had expected more - the Smithsonian was a little bit more elaborate and the coolest vehicles (quite a few capsules) were the real thing, ie the stuff that was actually used, but then again, those were all borrowed from the Smithsonian. This made us wonder why though .. isn't Nasa the original owner of the capsules and space vehicles? Apparently not. Then we also took a tour, which led us to mission control, where IIS was being tracked over Australia, and we saw live streams from it on a big screen, which was very cool.

We also went to the rocket park, where a Saturn V rocket was on display, and several rocket engines. Those were kind of awesome :) so I am very happy that we decided to drive a few miles (70mi or so) more to take the scenic I-10. Yaay texas.
