The day after Brooke's track meet in College Station, we were up early and on the road headed to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. We spent most of the day touring the facility including the tram tour which took us to the astronaut training facility. Here we were able to see where the NASA astronauts train for current missions and where scientists/engineers are developing the next generation of vehicles for space exploration.
