Gateshead ISS Visit

Sorry about taking so long to post having previosly typed one up and then the internet decided to conk out, just like home. Right now I'm watching the Ares Launch on Nasa TV online. But I will begin at the beginning, the best place to start. The flight to America was quite a comfortabke flight. It only took seven hours! From Newark there was a slight delay with some paper work however it was not too bad, On Wednesday we were take on a tour of the historical background of NASA.

Well, being the end of our time in Florida, I thought I'd have a recap of everything we've done so far.

This week has been so amazing ! We have seen an actual space shuttle and rocket which were ready to be fired off into space - which was quite cool. We have seen so much wildlife - wild hogs, alligators, turtles, eagles, snakes, dolphins, manatees, flying fish and even an armadillo. We are currently in Orlando Airport waiting for our connecting flight to Houston, Texas. Our flight has ben delayed though because of weather conditions in Houston. Will write soon, Emily x

This week has been full of exciement and very adventurous for us all, we have been to Kennedy space centre and sea world. First of all Kennedy space centre was very interesting to observe, as it had alot of shuttles, rockets and satellights we found the information on each of them very helpfull. I loved the shuttle simulator as i was the commander and my job was the safety abourd the shuttle called Discovery.
