NASA with the Shipley's

In November we were able to go visit NASA with the Shipley's. They were at the MTC with us in April and are serving in the Houston South Mission. They are in the Record Preservation's at the Clayton Genealogy Library.We were called to the Houston Mission but live in the Houston South Mission boundaries since we work out of the Bering Stake Center.
NASA in Houston is smaller than Cape Kennedy in Florida. We took a tram ride around the complex and got to visit mission control where they supervise the space shuttle missions. They said that they had a humongous pool on site which the astronauts practice in since there isn't a way to practice weightless maneuvering here on earth. This is the closest they can get to weightlessness. It has a duplicate of the space station and satellites and shuttle all underwater. We need to go back and see the rest. We cut our visit short so we could go watch Voland baptize his family.
