Goddard Rocket Launch & Visitors Center


We went with Mom-Mom to Goddard today in an attempt to launch one of our rockets at the monthly rocket launch. Unfortunately it was a bit cold and blustery and Max, Emmett and I decided not to chance losing our new rocket in the trees. We did see a lot of other smaller and parachute-less rockets (using streamers instead of parachutes) launched and we went to the museum. Max, Mom-Mom and I saw the talk by Dr. Tom Jones, a former NASA astronaut with 4 space shuttle flights and several space walks under his belt. Max watched and listened to the entire talk! I took some video and photos from the day. Here is a preview snapshot. Max and Emmett really loved this rocket capsule.

Dear Mr. Anonymous. How do I know that you are really my brother-in-law? Perhaps you are naughty Russian spy trying to infiltrate super-secret rocket launch center? Well, HA! super-secret rocket launch center is not so super-secret after all! First Sunday of every month at Goddard Visitors Center. They even let Russian spies like you in. Now, as for our own super-secret rocket launch site... we'll never tell!
