The wife and I went to visit my sister & brother in law in Houston last week, one of the places we went was the Johnson Space center (NASA) all I can say is WOW it is truley an Amazing place and I highly recomend it.

You cant see it in the picture but I have my GMT MasterII on

This is the present day mission control

This is the original mission control from the 60' and 70's

This was given to the mission control by the Apollo 13 crew for getting them home safely Im sure youve heard "Houston we have a problem"

Great tour, thanks for sharing. Someday I will visit the Johnson Space Center.

Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing!

I was at Johnson Space Center a couple of years ago on the "Level 9 tour". What a fantastic place. My no. 1 favorite is still the old (Apollo) Mission Control room. Think about all the history and excitement connected with this room - Apollo 11 (first lunar landing), Apollo13 ("Houston, we got a problem") etc. This is a must-see for any space-nerd!

Thank you very much for the photographs.
Sounds like a very interesting place to visit.
Looking good with your GMT

Quite amazing when you think about the achievements man has made in space.

What a fabulous piece of history. I wonder what we Americans have had to be proud of collectively as a nation since the early space projects, the mission to the moon, etc. We need something to bring us together as a country again. Something that will revive that; "I'm proud to be an American" feeling.

Maybe the space station will be a launching place for further adventures and exploration in to the great beyond. Maybe we can do something internationally with our other partner countries that will be a great achievement for us all.

Fabulous pictures. By the way; I spotted your GMT right away. It's a stunning watch. Great choice
