POTD: Space Center Houston

Learn about the US space program at Space Center Houston, located adjacent to the Johnson Space Center (which is the mission control, training, and research facility for the NASA space program). At this visitors center, you’ll learn about space travel in everyday terms. A full-scale mock-up of the space shuttle allows visitors to tour the flight deck while nearby an IMAX theater showcases large format films about space travel. Guided tram tours take visitors for a behind the scenes look at the Johnson Space Center to view Mission Control, the Space Shuttle Training Facility, or an underwater training area.
