Everyone loved the Kennedy Space Center, simply amazing when you think about it -- piloting spaceships into outer space at 17,000 mph (that's ~30 times faster than a commercial airliner!). We went to the dinner with an astronaut event -- there were about 200 hundred people in the room, Rick Searfoss gave a 20 minute presentation then opened it open to Q&A. I was proud of my kids as they both took the mic and asked questions in front of the whole group! It's crazy when you think about it, here's a guy that manned an aircraft into outer space, a HUGE accomplishment, and barely anyone in our country knows this guy. I considered the whole experience like meeting a celebrity... although I suspect many would disagree with me, how can this guy compare to the accomplishments of the Kardashians!
