I arrive at the front entrance of Space Center Houston. Out front I see a T-38A Talon, a jet commonly used in astronaut training. After paying for my ticket at the ticket booth I go inside for a looksee.

Yikes, there's a lot of stuff in here. It looks like there's something for everybody, from games to entertain the kids to more cerebral exhibits for the adults.

I wish to take the Tram Tour first. After picking up my audio equipment, I wander outside to the loading area. The tour will shuttle me in and around the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center for a glimpse into various indoor and outdoor exhibits sprinkled throughout the complex.
