We checked out NASA in Houston yesterday and it is a cool place. We were able to visit the newly refurbished and recently opened Apollo command center which was a great presentation. They refurbished all the equipment in there and staged it the way it was for the moon landing. They run a 10 minute clip of the moon landing with the communication between mission control and the capsule along with real time data showing on the screens. Incidentally, Christopher Kraft, who was the Director of NASA and who the command center building is named after, died just a few hours before our tour.
