Texas Trip - Day 1 - Space Awesomeness

-

 

First things first, the most important thing to do upon arrival to League City, after sleeping, eating at the best breakfast spot ever (Red Oaks Pancakes are the BEST EVER!), and driving around memory lane for a minute, is to visit NASA! 

We had an epic day of exploring Space Rockets (The Saturn V is always awe inspiring!), Space Shuttles, Space science, and International Space Station Exploration at the Johnson Space Center.  

Our Friend Ryan Lee was awesome and offered to give us a personal tour of his workplace, Axiom Space, where he gave us the BEST tour of his Space Suit manufacturing facilities.  No pictures were taken to keep industry proprietary secrets safe.  :)

Wishing a Merry Christma...
