Well, we went up to the Space Center today and I wasn't sure about the weather. But it held off raining until we were on our way home! :) It seemed like everything we did was "old hat" today, and we didn't take many pictures--but we had a nice day. CJ went straight to the car--yes, the car, in the Saturn V building. It must be new since last year--Alan Shepherd's classic Corvette is now on display underneath the huge rocket. Also new was the Apollo 14 capsule and some other things from that era--the only disappointing thing was that the capsule is in the room where you used to be able to put your head in a cutout on the wall and make yourself an astronaut. CJ was kind of bummed about that. But he also learned a lot today--he learned that Apollo 13 was "a successful failure"--and exactly what that means. Gee, maybe someday he will appreciate living in the middle of history--but for now, he's just a kid! :) We learned today that they are building a brand new crawler for the new Ares rockets, and we saw them beginning that out by the launch pads.
