Live coverage of Mars Science Laboratory, a walk through the stars and the future of exploration will be covered on your tour of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Families can feel what its like to launch into space like a real-life astronaut while spending the afternoon with a NASA astronaut or experience the sensation of a "blastoff" in the Blastoff Theater. Stroll through the Astronaut Gallery and get a first hand look at the portraits of everyone who has flown to space along with the world's best collection of spacesuits. And if you want to feel gravity under your feet, explore The Feel of Spacemodule that simulates what it's like to be an astronaut aboard a space station. There is even a diner on the premises for a quick bite to eat.
