Excursion
The conference excursion will be to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston in the afternoon of Wednesday May 16th. Entrance ticket and transportation by bus will be provided. There are more than 400 things to see and do at Space Center Houston, including many exhibits, two films, four live shows, several artifacts galleries, Independence Plaza, the NASA tram tour and more. The NASA tram Tour is the only part of the tour that will be guided. Touring inside the center is self-guided. There are two extra virtual-reality rides that are not included in our ticket, but can be purchased on site for 5$ and 7$ per ride per person.
We will spend about 3 hours at the Space Center, leaving from the Hotel at about 1:00 pm and from the Space Center at 5:00 pm. While inside, do not forget to take the tram tour (it is very cool) and to visit the recently acquired shuttle Independence.
