Johnson NASA Space Center, Texas

After visiting the Hindu Mandir, I traveled to the Johnson Space Center! The center was mainly for children, as there were many activities for them to do, but there were tours available to take around the facility.
                              
                                               
My favorite part of the tours was seeing the Saturn V, which I learned is the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket to ever be brought to operational status! It was massive and there is something so beautiful about the intricate wiring of the rocket.
Traveling to the moon and outer space seems very commonplace now since our astronauts travel there so often but visiting the center and learning about the struggle to build something to travel outer space made me appreciate how far science has come.

Also, enjoy this video...it is haunting but in the most beautiful way.
