I Love You NASA!

[elleflies]

It appears that I fangirl NASA.

My dad and I drove an hour and a half to Clear Lake to take a Behind the Scenes tour of Johnson Space Center (The best 75 bucks I have EVER spent. It's called the Level 9 Tour if anyone is interested and you can only book tickets over the web.)

Anyhow, the tour was off the wall amazing (I took 584 pictures). But that's not the fangirl part. That would be the part where I was so excited and psyched up that after the 5 hour tour ended I immediately developed a pounding headache coming down from my adrenaline high. Taking into account all the crazy things I've done and all the places I've been, I've NEVER reacted like that to anything before...

Also, I'd like to petition the government to take my tax dollars and apply them directly to NASA. Because OMGSOCOOLYOUHAVENOIDEA!

Oooh, pictures! I remember going to the Johnson Space Center every time we had family or friends visit. Don't remember everything--it's been fifteen years--but it's cool seeing the situation room every time someone says "Houston, we have a problem." (Except the real-life room is smaller than the Hollywood version. Heh.)

Yes to more tax dollars for NASA. Where are our colonies on Mars, dangit? It's sad that we already have a second generation of Kirk and Spock, yet don't even have a permanent footprint on the moon. :p
