A trip to NASA is not complete without going to the Space Center.  Here are some pictures:

This is an actual mock-up (the electrical parts) of a space shuttle.  They would use this to simulate different issues, and how to fix them.

It was sad to see the space shuttle mock-up with the above tag on it—artifact. . . .

This flag is located in the center of the Johnson Space Center—the flag is flying when there is an American astronaut in space.  It has been flying for 13 years straight—thanks to the International Space Station.
