Adam had to travel for work for a few days, so I decided to take the kids on an adventure in northern alabama. First stop...us space & rocket museum. Huntsville is called "rocket city" - it's where many if the us rockets are produced..as well as the Apollo project.
This is a manned jet pack..to fly around space!
The space shuttle landing simulator told Gage (after he crashed the shuttle a few times) that he had tried hard, but he "had gone where no man had gone before" and it was time to let someone else have a turn.
Space shuttle. Wow!
Rocket. Wow!!!
Some nasa guys were doing hands on experiments with the kids. Here they were learning about Bernoulli's principle and the kids actually made the pin going balls fly out of the paper cups!
Getting a feel for just how tight the quarters were for astronauts in the space capsules!
Apollo!
It was a very cool visit..and we had a "blast" ;-)
