2009 NASA Student Symposium

We had a busy day today. It began with a trip to Space Center Houston (http://www.spacecenter.org/), which is a very large space museum centered around NASA's Johnson Space Center. The morning was filled by a rocket (balloon) activity and a Starship Gallery tour. After lunch, we were treated to a spacesuit demonstration (really cool) and a presentation/question opportunity with a NASA panel representing many different careers at NASA (which was also "webcast" to schools around the country). Before leaving for the hotel, we spent about an hour in the Space Trader gift shop.

After dinner, there was a recognition ceremony followed by a game of "Blast-off" (NASA version of "BINGO"). The evening concluded with a ice cream social and a trip to the pool.

It was a jam-packed, fun-filled two days in Houston. We will spend the day traveling tomorrow and should arrive in Jackson in the evening.

If you have any questions about out our presentation and trip, be sure to leave a comment.
