Visiting Space Center Houston NASA In 2022

- Опубликовано: 27 май 2022
- In this video we decided to take a day trip down to Space Center Houston in the Clear Lake Area about a 45 minute drive south of Houston. We weren't sure what to expect given the pandemic had just ended but it was a pretty enjoyable day as the weather was great and there were not that many people.

Dude I just love how the space shuttle is just there like a real planed would it’s so amazing to see it and know your in front of a space plane.👍
Yeah, it's definitely an awesome experience! One of these days you should check it out! Thanks for watching!
God I love the space center. When I was about 7 or 8 when I was a Cub Scout, they let a few of our troops actually camp out and spend the night in the center. It was awesome to sleep under the Star lit ceilings and wake up to use the bathroom forcing you to walk through ISS simulated corridors in the dark. So awesome!!!
I can only imagine how fun that must have been! I remember doing those sorts of overnighters when I was younger as well but in places that were not nearly as cool as NASA....but still fun as hell nonetheless. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan hi how do you get tickets, are those at the venue
@@JodyJody Hi, yes you can simply walk up and purchase a ticket at one of the booths near the entrance. They also have discounted tickets if you plan on visiting multiple Houston attractions. I believe it is called the Houston CityPass. It's nice to have if you know you'll be visiting a bunch of places but if you plan on only visiting NASA I would just stick with buying a single ticket there. Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokanthe blue tram tour (mission control center & rocket park) is included in the $30 ticket?
@@JC-li8kk Yes, you’re entrance ticket includes what you mentioned. Whatever is not included will be clearly indicated once you arrive.
I’ve been here before. Honestly Stunning. It is absolutely HUGE. The price is worth it. There are interactive things that show about physics and other things. I definitely recommend coming here.
Highly agreed! A must visit for sure! Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan No problem!
I literally live in Houston and have visited this a lot of times
Thanks for a really informative and useful video
You are very welcome! Glad you found it to be useful. Thanks for watching!
Have been a huge lover of aviation
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video
thanks so much for the compliment. We are learning as we go along. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing 🎉
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I went there in August 2018! It was so fun!
Glad you had fun. I think we need to make a trip back but not till the winter when it's not scorchingly hot! Thanks for watching!
I went here for a field trip it was SOO fun!
Glad you had fun! Thanks for watching!
I love the shot of that lady climbing the stairs…😂
My compliments
We just went today and there was a lot of people. It was still fun.
Yeah, I bet there are a lot more people visiting now compared to when we went. Either way though, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting! Thanks for showing us what it's like in there. It's too bad that particular space center doesn't show you all actual rocket launches. I know the Kennedy Space Center in Florida does.
You are very welcome, yes, this location seems to be pretty bare bones now. Ever since funding was cut it just seems like ghost town these days. Thanks for watching!
I've seen only one Saturn 5; at the KSC. I always knew how big that rocket is, but nothing prepared me for the first time that I saw it and all I could say was "Holy shit!"
3:12 Another "Holy shit!" moment, right there.
4:55 The space station shown is Skylab. Two Skylabs were made: one went into orbit on the last Saturn 5, the other went into the National Air and Space Museum.
5:50 Shuttle Independence, formerly named Explorer, was moved from the KSC Visitor Center to make room for the Shuttle Atlantis exhibit.
Okay, you've wet my whistle. Houston is now on my To-Do List, next trip to the US.
Awesome! You won’t be disappointed. My advice would be to wait till the cooler months before you visit.. its been ridiculously hot in Houston this summer….thanks for watching !
@@Kenshirokan Cooler months? I've been to Florida in July, so, yes, cooler months are always a good option. Thanks.
We'll be glad to see you. I volunteer at Space Center Houston (SCH) and have been to KSC. I like the Saturn V at SCH much better since it's displayed at ground level and without distraction. You really get a much better sense for its size the way it's displayed in Houston. Also, it is the only complete, flight certified Saturn V left. The rocket at KSC and in Huntsville have mock-ups for 3rd stage. That said, Houston is more like a museum than an amusement park like KSC. If you love history, and want to walk in the steps of legends from Apollo, you'll love Houston, especially when you visit the historic Apollo 11 mission control room. There's also a VIP tour that will take you into many of the Johnson Space Center buildings. If questions, don't hesitate!
@@stephenhuzar3645 Thank you - my wife and I are in the planning stages for a trip, possibly next July.
I understand that the KSC Saturn 5 second and third stages are the real thing and were intended for Apollo 19. The first stage displayed, on the other hand, was a test rig. The real Apollo 19 first stage is displayed somewhere else - I have seen a photo, but have forgotten the location.
@@MarsFKA Awesome, feel free to hit me for tips on visiting Houston and Space Center Houston. I check my research, you are correct, the KSC Saturn V FIRST stage isn't the flight certified article, it is a test article. The Saturn V at Houston is all flight certified. It's difficult to say exactly which mission each stage was to fly on, since stages were interchangeable. But most sources and SCH believes 3rd stage would have been Apollo 18, 2nd stage Apollo 20, and 1st stage Apollo 19. I had my reference to Skylab mixed up a bit. The converted 3rd stage for Skylab (which never flew) is in Washington DC. There was another 3rd stage that was converted for Skylab, but it burned on reentry.
My dad is taking me there today!

Awesome! Hope the rain clears out by the time you make it out there. Be sure to dress warm, it will be a bit chilly out there. Thanks for watching!
Not to mention they just announced a ton of new stuff this morning (including a.complete rebranding)
Wow, really? We may have to visit again then! Thanks for watching!
I wonder if it's a good idea to go right now during summer? Or if the facility has air conditioning inside?
It depends on your tolerance for heat. Some people don’t mind the heat but personally, I would prefer going during the winter months. The main area is within a building so it is air conditioned. Plenty to see there for sure. Thanks for watching!
I wanna go there...
but it would take me more than *18 hours ;(*
only in Minnesota💀💀💀
How long did you stay there? Was it a full day visit?
We were only there for about a half day but that’s because we aren’t the types to stay at places for very long. You can easily spend the whole day there if you want. It al depends on how thorough you want to be. But anything more than a day is overkill in our opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@Kenshirokan thank you! Great video!
When did you record this tour? Thx for the video. Considering this for a family trip. 👍
I lagged on getting this out so I can’t remember the exact date but I want to say it was some time in March of this year when we went. If you are going with kids it is definitely a place you can spend a whole day at. There is a huge wealth of information from exhibits to shows and more. You’ll enjoy it. And you can also swing by Kemal Boardwalk nearby which is another great spot to visit. Thanks for watching!
I plan on going in February. Is the VIP worth it?
We did not partake in the VIP experience but if it were up to me I’d skip any VIP experience anywhere. 90% of the time the experience isn’t worth the extra cost. The standard ticket will get you access to more than enough in our opinion. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!
Hi! Do you know the attention hours?
Hi, I’m not sure I understand what you mean by attention hours. Are you talking about opening hours?
Hey, could you please share step by step go there..i plan go there on Feb next year..what hotel is nearest that location? And how about transportation..i plan to spend 2 days leaving from New York goto Houston..Thanks for your sharing in advance
Hey there, thanks for watching. We live in Houston so we did not stay in a hotel or worry about transportation as NASA is within driving distance for us. If you give me an idea of how you plan on traveling then maybe I can help. Do you plan on using public transportation, taxis, or rideshares or do you plan on renting a car? What is your budget for hotel? I would need that kind of information in order to properly give you advice.
does it have the crawler
Not sure, you’ll have to tell us what a crawler is before we can answer that.
@@Kenshirokan Πολύ παράξενο που δεν γνωρίζεται το crawler!!!
Είναι η αυτοκινούμενη πλατφόρμα εκτόξευσης του SATURN και των διαστημικών βελών.
Το μεγαλύτερο ερπυστριοφόρο του κόσμου.
Έχει βάρος χιλιάδες τόνους, κατασκευάστηκαν 2 ή 3, περίπου το 1965.
Νομίζω βρίσκονται στο KSC.
Can u bring toddlers there??
You most definitely can! Thanks for watching!
Do you have to wear a mask?
Yes, during the time we were there a mask was required. That was back in February almost 6 months ago. Things could have changed but if I were to guess, I'd say that masks are probably still required.
@@Kenshirokan the space shuttle carpeting was decayed
@@AngelHernandez-xy8pd wow, it very well may have been but to be honest, we weren’t really focusing on the floor….lol. Thanks for watching!
R vip?

Not entirely sure what you are trying to say but hey, thanks for watching!
Cookie cutter. Not impressed.
It looks like it was made for the public. If u know what i mean
Uh….thats because what now exists, is for the most part, made for the public…..Lol. Thanks for watching!
It’s a museum and visitor center, so of course it is for the public!
