Took my 5 year old to Johnson space center in Houston a few weekends ago. He loved it. I bought him an Atlantis Shuttle from the gift store and I just find it sad that he was born to late to marvel at a shuttle launch like I did when I was young. It was pretty cool seeing the Orion there (it was just a reproduction for training) and a complete international space station on the floor of the big hanger they use for testing and training.
Glad your son had a good time. I took my cousins to cape canaveral and they complained the whole time we were there. They ran through the whole place and were ready to leave the moment we got there. I've never been so disappointed in a generation.
I guess your son gives me hope because I didn't have any after hanging out with my younger cousins.
They seriously have a sick obsession with the internet, these kids are worse than zombies!
Oh yeah and I met an Astronaut who they didn't give two shits about! Mr Don Thomas

Great topic. & props to OMLandshark, he's been out there on this for awhile.
I was lucky in this regard. I took my son and we discovered that one day was not near enough to do even close to everything. So we have a weekend trip planned for next month. People at work probably think I'm nuts with all my space talk, but I dragged one out to see Orion on Friday. Such a shame that we don't remember the excitement of the 60's and 70's regarding space exploration and such. Hell, back in the day when Apollo was going full bore, I remember joining a science/space club and building models they sent, owning a telescope and moon/star gazing w/my dad. Good times - here's hoping the future holds some promise.
