π Houston Adventure: Awe-Inspired by Space, Humbled by Height! π
Just checked off NASA Space Center Houston β , but today went far beyond expectations! I touched a real Mars rock π, time-traveled to the Apollo 11 Mission Control room, learned about astronaut training, saw one of only three Saturn V rockets (sooooo massive!), and even spotted the rare piggyback shuttleβ¦ Every moment filled me with awe for the cosmos and deep respect for human courage and ingenuity. π Space truly ignites the explorer in all of us! β And then came the totally unexpected bonus: I ran into Yao Ming and his family! πΌ So this is what they mean by a Houston special π For the first time, I felt the (positive!) presence of 2.26 meters in real life β even next to giant spacecraft, Yao stood out! He was super gentle, low-key, and here with his family. Too shy to say hi (kicking myself now π ), but it felt right not to disturb their private time. #NASA #SpaceCenterHouston #YaoMing #CelebSighting #TravelMagic #SpaceDreams #Speechless #HoustonChecklist #USATrip
