Trip to Houston


I recently went to Houston and went to a NASA's Johnson Space Center museum. Over there were many exhibits including a movie and 2 presentations. One presentation was about the Mars Rover, Curiosity, and the other one was about rockets and and the control center. There were real rocket boosters outside of the Saturn V Rocket park, almost as big I could sit in each one. The front of the space shuttle, Adventure was right in the museum itself! We visited the Johnson Space Center control room, where someone told us about it. After a while, we stopped for lunch. After lunch, there was an interactive presentation about living in space. Then we visited a gift shop an got a ball and a shirt for my brother, and a shirt for me.

But there was one interesting thing out of them all. It was a robot that served frozen yogurt! First it asked the two ice cream flavors you wanted out of chocolate, vanilla, and swirl. Then it asked you for toppings, like sprinkles. Then it served it to you. There is a video on the bottom that will show you the details.
"That's what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level."
