Johnson Space Center

This is what it looked like before the ground breaking

This picture was taken in 1963. The big building in the center with the big *** garage door is where I currently work.

Here is agood aerial view from the northwest corner in 1963.

Picture of the NBL (Nuetral Bouyance Lab) Astronaut training facility. This was taken in 05. Big *** swimming pool. It is something like 100'x120'x40'. Holds something like 6 million gallons of water. I woked in theis building a few years back for a couple of months.

We have a lot of old JSC/NASA pictures up around our hallway. JSC is literally right across the street from my work.

Sounds good!!

I took my kids in June to Johnson Space Center and they loved it..

People if you haven't taken your kids there do it... I could go on and on about the place ...it's just awesome.
