John Tyson and I spent the night Saturday night at NASA! We were there with his Cub Scout group for an overnight visit. We pitched our sleeping bag under a Apollo Saturn V rocket (stage 1 to be exact)! It was quite an experience! We saw an IMAX movie about the Apollo mission to the moon and saw personal slides and heard from Story Musgrave, an Astronaut with six shuttle mission experiences and an expert on the Hubble Space Telescope. It was very inspiring and made you feel rather small. We were taken the next morning on a tour that took us out to Launch Pad A...just feet from the fence that surrounds the pad. John Tyson and I stayed later after it was over and toured some more, taking in the Astronaut Hall of Fame. I really enjoyed it...Oh, and John Tyson did too!
