On The Road Friday ~ Journey to Space ~ Science Museum of Minnesota


 It is Friday, time to take a trip.
Today, we are heading to Space. 
Grab your space suit, your space food and let us go "to infinity and beyond!" 


 

 Genuine Space Food
This was a fun exhibit. I was amazed at all the choices of food.
We also learned that on the International Space Station all the Nations share foods. No need to travel to Russia to try Russian food, just head to the International Space Station. 


 With this exhibit you got to try working in space, wearing a space glove. It was a challenge.


 Look real close at this photo, do you see I am floating.


We are taking the controls of the International Space Station. 
 We have to keep the air clean and moving. We are using the sun to charge our batteries. Keeping fans going and lights on or off. This was so much fun, and I am happy to report we made it. We did not kill everyone.

 A quick trip to Mars and back.


 We loved this guy. He was so much fun. He did experiments with liquid nitrogen.


 Exploring other fun areas of the museum.

Back to Earth!
Well, that was an adventure.
Thank you for coming along with me today, on an out of gravity experience.

Have a great weekend.
