Houston Museum of Natural Science

Like I mentioned (about two posts back), I was very jealous of our neighbor who got to go to space camp . . . well, I got to do an activity they do at space camp—simulate what it would be like to be an astronaut traveling to Mars, and what it would feel like in being a scientist in mission control.  It was sooooooo fun!!!

It all started to go wrong when we saw this red light on the air flow tanks.

My partner and I had to make sure everything got fixed (by switching some lights in a certain pattern—given to us by mission control).  Yes, we saved the space craft, and landed on Mars with success.  he-he  It was so much fun!!

Since I had been to the museum multiple times with my family, I decided to dish out the money to pay for the Egyptian Mummy exhibit.  It was really amazing, and we lucked up by finding a guide who truly knew what he was talking about.  It was very interesting, a little scary, and a lot amazing.
