Houston, Texas

On the wall opposite of the viewing area I discover many placards describing in detail some of the equipment located down on the floor. That's right, we have your Unity Module with Pressurized Mating Adaptors, Airlocks, U.S. Habitation Module, Service Module, U.S. Laboratory Module, System Rack, Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, Columbus Orbital Facility, Japanese Experiment Module. God, my head is really hurting now. I'm in information overload right now. And to make matters worse, the information is related to really, really complicated stuff.

About the only thing I can relate to so far is the cubicle. Desks, chairs, and filing cabinets. That's pretty easy to understand. Well, I take that back. I can relate to some of the other exhibits, a few look like really large beer cans.

If you're going to fly on the Space Shuttle, you darn better train in one. I'm thinking this is the primary digs for that type of training. I never realized just how huge the cargo hold is on one of these ships. I think you could very well fit a train car in there.
