There were many, many things of interest at the Space Center. Here are a few that really caught my eye. This silver color space suit reminded me of some early Sci-Fi movie character or one of Mike's grandson Andrew's toys.

he device with the yellow tracks is simply the crawler-transporter used to move the Space Shuttle to the actual launch pad. Each crawler costs $14 million . It burns 125 gallons per mile; so stop complaining about your car or truck.
