. . .and you've still NOT PM'd me to come and visit NASA. Hmmm, I need to check my badge to determine if I'm a paid employee for NASA. They may wish to edit my posts.

You can still come visit.

you never invited me.
I dont even know where NASA is in Houston (I think thats what your talking about)

Sorry. . .brain dead moment on my part. NASA is over by Ellington (EFD) southeast Houston, Clear Lake area. Kemah, Pasadena toward Galveston. I believe you're up at Intercontinental cross Beltway 8. Easy to find. Like Doug or anyone else, I can give the nickel tour if you're interested.

sounds cool, but unfortunately i dont live in Houston. Thanks for the offer though. I'll have to take you up on that offer later.

"Zippo..." works for me! Where do we sign up?

You're right up the street as well. Pick a time that's convenient for you and we can make plans.

yea.. put me on that too.. i went on an "inside NASA" at the cape way back in the day... always wanted to see Houston's operations too!

I could easily set up a meet & greet and see how many folks we could get down there (when the weather is good)?

MFT1Air · November 2nd, 2006, 20:10

Hey, we're in Houston. How "bad" can the weather be? I grew up in Avondale for a few years in addtion to going to Arizona State, so I know the weather here approximates the weather in Arizona, so it's all good.

Its' a 4 hour drive from Temple, but I would do it to get a personalized tour of Johnson. I got one at Kennedy and it was phenomenal.

Plus I could meet a bunch of JC'ers and not feel quite as bad about missing JC Vegas.

On a side note... Mods... how about cutting MFT's NASA offer out of here and pasting it in the Meet & Greet section?

(Keep in mind, Don, that they can't see all the posts that got deleted after I copied the whole thread over here so it probably doesn't look as *impressive* as what you are seeing.....and I could have done it a different way that would have been much less clumsy and heavy handed.....still learning.)

DE727UPS · November 6th, 2006, 02:14

Whatever....I'm having wet dreams....

MFT1Air · November 6th, 2006, 09:07

Keep the posts coming. I see great possibilities in making the visit an official one.

Understand, anyone. . .and I do mean anyone who is in the area can PM me and I can give them the grand tour. More advance notice, I can provide other activities as well.

I am right down the road in League City. Please count me in for any group tour scheduled.
