    I’ll tell you about my experience at the Space Center in Houston, Texas

    The perfect place for space lovers. This place gives you unique experiences since you can explore real spaceships, you can see up close the ship that took man to the moon, the equipment they used for the mission, there are simulators that will make you feel part of the mission. There is simply no age to enjoy this experience, I had the opportunity to go with my family and we were all like children observing the whole atmosphere of this place, that even if you are not a lover of the issue of space makes it catch your attention and you end up interested even in an indirect way questioning some little things.

    Every corner of this place fills you with information and they make you in one way or another appreciate the work that the people who are dedicated to this do. And thanks to the technology of now I was able to understand everything with the translator because everything was in English. Upon entering the place, the first thing we see is the huge replica of a rocket (saturn v) and the iconic sign of the center. The closer you get, the more excited you get, or at least that’s what happened to me. Then there is the international space station of which I don’t have many photos because I entertained myself pressing buttons, since there are like some interactive screens. Then there is the gallery and a cinema theater where there are collections of space costumes and movies on a giant screen. Then there is an area called mission mars that I would describe as a small portal that takes you there and in addition to that exhibition you experience what it is like to live on Mars, there is a place where you can lift the weight of a suitcase that makes you experience how it would weigh if you were on Mars and what it weighs being on earth. There is a kind of tour that I didn’t go to because I was late, I have to go back for that experience. In the last two places I saw is the spaceship gallery where you live the history of that program, watching the capsules mercury, Gemini, apollo, you can touch a lunar rock also finally the Independence Square that was the one that tired me the most due to the number of stairs you have to climb to see all the multi exhibitions entering a hi-fi replica of the shuttle.
