On Friday, PawPaw took Jase to Space Center Houston. Jase was super excited and so was PawPaw! Before they stopped at the Space Center, they went to some of the buildings within in NASA. Since PawPaw works there, he has some connections. ;-)
It was pretty cool, Jase got to see several of the space shuttle mock-ups that PawPaw helped build.
Oh and this was cool. Jase got to control this hoover seat. It hoovers off of the ground just a hair, well actually 1/3 of a human hair to be exact! I believe the astronauts practice on this seat before working the real deal in space. One hand controls the motions: forward, backward, left and right. And the other hand controls turning clockwise or counter clockwise. He really enjoyed this. Also, my younger brother has a similar picture taken 18 years ago with this same man; pretty cool.
They took a lunch break and then headed over to the actual Space Center. There is currently a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit going on and Jase said that was pretty neat.
He had a great time and a special thanks to PawPaw for taking him. The first thing Jase said when he came home was "we need to do more science in school!" Point taken! Haha!
