Hayden Engram flew in to town and we celebrated Hunter's birthday with cupcakes and a trip to NASA. We got a backstage tour from an engineer from NASA who attends our church. Pictured are some of the modules in which the astronauts train. The boys also were able to see robots that are able to be used for planetary exploration.
The world's largest telescoping arm, similar to what is used by space shuttle.
This is like an RV on the surface of a planet.
This is a vehicle for exploring planets. The suit is actually connected to the vehicle so that an astronaut merely climbs into the attached suit from the inside of the vehicle, thus never leaves the vehicle.
This is the training cockpit of a space shuttle.
Mission Control. "One small step for man..." Apollo 13 movie was filmed here, too.
"Houston, we have a problem." But not to fear.... Hunter and Carter are calling Batman.
GREAT displays!
It took me a little coaxing to get Hunter to go along with this photo.
There are several great games that everybody enjoyed.
Colton is controlling a mars rover..... A REAL one that is in a viewing chamber! Collins is...climbing.
