These pictures are from our first trip to Space Center Houston/the Johnson Space Center. We’d already gotten her pretty excited about the eight planets and the Sun and she was naturally excited about the Moon (who isn’t?). We got to see MOCR-2, the historic mission control that controlled the Apollo 11 moon landing and was one of two control rooms used for all of the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Shuttle Missions until 1998. The second historic control room, the cleverly-named MOCR-1, has been gutted and replaced is now a Starbucks, I think. Nora was totally into the whole thing but was ultimately wooed away from space exploration by the giant multi-floor climbing gym in the visitors’ center.
