First of all, we watched an I-max movie called 'hubble'. It was so awesome to see all the space equipment and planets pop out of the screen as I looked through the 3D glasses. It was amazing to see stars, planets, solar systems and space. there were some marvellous pictures on screen. I love seeing I-max movies.
After that, we walked to the shuttle experience. We walked to the entrance and had our photo taken. We had the decision to buy the photo or not. They photo shopped it and put our faces in an astronaut suit. It was quite funny. We walked into the building and lined up for our turn to experience a pretend (but felt realistic) shuttle experience. When it was our turn, we walked into a room that felt like a rocket. A screen appeared and we listened to a man talk about the steps of a rocket reaching space. That wasn't the fun part, but it was cool when the ground rumbled, as a rocket appeared on the screen which flew into space. After the presentation, we walked into a room which looked like the inside of a shuttle. We sat in our own seats and clicked our seat belts on. Red and blue bright lights were flashing like a lighthouse and the 'shuttle' began to vibrate and shake as the room tilted so we were sitting almost upside down. It felt so incredible as it felt the room was moving extremely fast. The roof started to open and it looked like we were appearing in space. Everything looked realistic. Tiny little lights, big and little, were on a black back round which looked like stars and we also saw a pretend version of Earth but it looked sooooo real!
When it was over, the room started to move back to normal and everyone walked out the doors down a long swirly ramp. It was so dark, as little light were flashing. At the very end of the ramp, there was a gift shop. I bought a 3D postcard just to keep as a memory. It looked soooooo cool.
As we were walking around the complex, we were taking photos. Minutes later, we lined up at the bus where we could go on a tour around other NASA buildings. We stopped at a massive building. Inside we listened to a presentation on Astronauts and moved on to another show. We sat down and looked at the computer screens and equipment which was set up in a very big room. We were looking at a show of how things were checked before the departure of a rocket. lights were turning on and computer screens automatically switched on with green lines racing across the screens in zigzags. Voices and talking came out of no where and a big screen appeared. When things were done it appeared on the screen. As the pretend invisible rocket lifted off, the room vibrated and explosion noises made its way through my ears. It was very loud and the back windows appeared red and looked like smoke outside of them. They shook back and forth, banging against the window screens. It was pretty cool.
After that, we walked into a massive hall, and an extremely big shuttle was in the centre of all the shops and cafes. My family and I took many photos. There was also a statue of snoopy in an astronaut suit(so cute!).
We went to the cafe and we had something to eat. The day was coming to an end, so we went home and relaxed.
