Day 3 Continued.....Houston, We Do Not Have A Problem!




We were so excited to step into Mission Control on the grounds of Johnson Space Center.  Imagine our excitement when we saw the sun rising over the Earth from the satellite above the International Space Station!  We watched the scientists hard at work keeping the astronauts safe and maintaining the sensitive equiptment on the Space Station. Your Eastern teachers also took a VIP tour of the original mission control center and saw the replica of the American flag that Neil Armstrong placed on the Moon! 



     Here are pictures of  the former Mission Control Center.  You might recognize this room from archival photos from famous NASA missions.
