Even that the Visitor Center is the most visible part, there are many
other things there too. Johnson Space Center cooupies more than 1600 acres
and eomploys more than 14000 people and there are:
- Home to Mission Control Center, where space shuttle missions are
monitored, directed and managed. (Everybody remembers "Houston, we have a problem.")
- Astronauts training.
- Lunar rocks are studied and cared here. (800 pounds of rocks)
- Human adaptation to space is investigated.
- Development of technology for humans to be in space.
- Lead center in the design and implementation on the International Space Center.

I was about 4 hours in the Visitor Center. Pretty much everything interesting
can be seen from the pictures. I was also attending all threee theatre presentations
that there were every half an hour.
