If you are a Floridian, I would suggest getting the yearly pass to NASA, or for that matter, any Disney theme parks! Total tour takes a whole lot of time. With unlimited returns to NASA via a yearly pass, you can plan your trip and cover every nook and cranny. You have 1 year to do that anyways \ud83d\ude09 There’s a whole lot of exhibits, tours and gadgets to see, test-drive and familiarize with. We arrived around noon and was greeted by some gracious security personnel at the check point. It was a fast and easy-peasy process. They were absolutely friendly. I heart friendliness. After a click of the above photo, me and Tarun were famished and begin our tour by visiting the Orbit Cafe for a scrumptious meal of chicken fingers and fries. It’s fast food for us whenever we are on the road.<\/p>\n With a happy tummy, we proceeded for our first bus tour. This is not our first trip to NASA. We skipped visiting a couple of exhibition sites that we’ve visited before and instead, choose to enjoy the informational bus tours and clicked away endlessly with our Nikon \ud83d\ude42 These photo’s below are some of scenery’s taken from the bus:<\/p>\n Awaiting to board the tourist bus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is where the orbiter is fitted & engineered with the Solid Rocket Boosters \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Crawler is used to transport the orbiter to the launchpad for the countdown \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pebbled pathway for the enormous Crawler!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We returned to the Visitor’s Centre Rocket Garden and enjoyed a full blown view of orbiters, shuttle rocket booster and experienced a whooping simulation of a shuttle launch. Goodness! It was so thrilling! No photos allowed in the simulation as it was a very shaky ride. Wouldn’t want to hurt yourself or any one else! I could never understand how these astronauts are able to handle such working conditions, riskiness and pressures. Kudos to them, I can never do it because of my vertigo<\/a>. And the fact that I am very well under-qualified \ud83d\ude09 Sigh… this is the little astronaut in me, spewing words from the beyond \ud83d\ude00 Enough of me, let’s get back to more photos:<\/p>\n A model of a solid rocket booster!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A model of an Orbiter, where astronaut's are housed during shuttle missions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n![\"DSC_0076\"](\"http:\/\/blog.kirantarun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DSC_00764.jpg\" "\\"DSC_0076\\"")
