you know I am convinced that the city of Houston rains more than the entire state
of Washington this incredible man it's every single time I come to Houston is
just record breaking rain every single time there's some clear it's not gonna
it's gonna rain for like a week that's not gonna rain all day every day it's
just man it's getting old Houston hates me
Houston we've got a problem I am going to escape the rain it's not raining
right now it may be raining later we're going to do something really special
today guys then check out the Space Center here in Houston Texas now I'm
taking you over to the one over at Cape Canaveral in Florida but the
communications building is actually right down the road and they have a
specific Space Center here for NASA that we can go explore and a lot of its
indoor as I believe I'm also using my Cannon and fifty again with my super
wide angle blog lens lots and lots of larger-than-life stuff out here I am
excited about this I'm hanging out with some YouTube friends that drove me down
here from The Woodlands area so gonna be hanging out with some local friends tour
guides but we're going to go inside the museum today it's a 31 bucks to get in
$5 parking and you guys get to come in for 399 whoo I mean look at this outdoor
area they've got a I think it's a 747 carrier with a shuttle the independence
this is a real one the 747 is a real one that's just like a replica built version
up there but lots of big stuff out here let's head towards front now getting
ready to go in they do have a replica of a command module there but yeah let's go
inside and see the front and get old Neil Armstrong and his steps that's gone
second I got stopped here at the gate you know I say NASA is always really
good because they're like they let you share anything you want and here in
Houston this is new pieces of what I have in my hand I can bring in the
cannon m50 is small enough that it is allowed but the tripod that I'm holding
and the microphone is not allowed here I've never seen anything like this so
I'm I'm gonna go back to the car I'm gonna drop off pieces of the system
we're just not gonna have awesome audio for this and stabilization
as very weird I hope I hope this isn't gonna catch on I will do my best
all right we're inside NASA I'm excited to explore they've even got a tram
that's gonna get us around later let's look inside the lobby here
obviously I gotta find a magnet's dude I don't have a whole lot of time to play
in here because I got a tram ticket to go over to the original Mission Control
tour which should be kind of fun but they they have some magnets and they
have some gift stores some lunar modules there it's not actually very busy in
here they've got some rides over here some simulators and stuff you can ride
and then have a really big lunar module and kids play areas follow rocket check
out those magnets first thing all right got the magnet options here some lots of
magnets I love space
I don't like that one I think since I already got one of these in Florida I'm
gonna go with this one in Texas and we may actually have more
time to explore this area but since there's tram openings let's go get the
good stuff out of the way and understand that I can't do anything about audio
outside so if they're talking here in the tram tour I'm not even gonna try to
film but it's just gonna be sound the entire time that's really windy outside
here this is their food court in here
pretty cool
it's a moist day it's not raining right now here we go here's my friends
everybody say hi here we go
this is control center heading on upstairs to the original 1960s Mission
Control Center stairs stairs stairs
yeah yeah I'll drink Collins in arms room
is everybody kind of dark in there we're gonna watch a movie so I got to turn the
camera off for a little bit cigarettes and ashtrays definitely the 60s so I
couldn't filmed during the demonstration but they do this really cool shoe they
basically do the entire 1969 you know landing on the moon in here and you
can't pull your cameras away but at the end of it they les show you part of the
control room here okay a week you're coming down the ladder now and we're
riding the old-school tram back older model all right one more tram ride for
the day I'm gonna go ahead and see the astronaut training facility and see some
more indoor stuff
so we're gonna go on a little tour here and see a working facility this is not a
maka this is like real chair what again going upstairs harmony we have in this
room it's a bunch of mock-up models and they got all the different little like
the living quarters that you're gonna use in space so the astronauts can can
train in here and get used to the areas and the space and all the buttons and
everything so once your different modules for training and it looks like
the Zarya sunrise there collects some magnets that's pretty no they're not
magnets looks cool though also you'll notice that not all these are
necessarily just American modules there's all the different countries
astronauts can come in here as well get that one down there it's like living in
a scamp trailer these are working offices all sorts of computer gear over
here we've got the fabric Department some sewing machines and stuff to make
repairs and stuff because they do have to practice in all different parts of
the shuttle so that's what this is for there's the boolean Starliner down there
and the Orion a lot of US tax dollars down there guys
we'll be taking something like that to Mars in about 15 years if you look on
top of the blue boxes over there we've got a bunch of different robotic
vehicles for different terrains and some robotic men down there sorry for the
wind guys last stop is another outdoor spot here rocket park we got a couple
rockets to look at up close first of the Little Joe to be p22
another one I don't know what this one's called bro do you even horsepower I'm
still kind of frustrated about not being able to use my microphone like nothing I
can do about it though just limit outside stuff alright inside we have a
Saturn five and it's one of the only functional ones takes up the entire
building here
yeah you almost have to stand next to it so you can see how massive this thing
hits all right there's some more thrusters
they're a tribute to Apollo 11 as well as right over here
Aldrin Collins and mr. Neil Armstrong
you said you were safe
look at all those detailed components in there she hates
all right we're getting to the tip all of about four inches to spare fitting in
this building I remember those thrusters on the movie they also even filled part
of that movie Apollo 13 in different buildings here in the Houston area so
that so they could be more realistic so that's pretty cool
that's it last minute important details to work out here and we can go inside
that
hmm he's pretty good at that
this is the crew quarters in here yep they got to do their cardio in space and
the ward room up there cozy the waste management can pardon it yeah and that's
race leap and your space dentist office in a 1975 docking and modular training
take squeeze in there one Apollo fuel cell
both even if you wanna check titties alright gonna go ahead back to the gamma
which I got that Boeing 747 and Space Shuttle one last time before we hit the
road they have a lunar module cockpit trainer here you can practice suspended
here is the faith seven mercury nine spacecraft loaned by Gordon Cooper in
1963 it is a very low light year downstairs but lots to see the Apollo 17
command module and just take a peek in here man Wow
look at the door mechanism there
space food major space steak your bag of water but you don't go to room 9
every space creams working on the moon man and they got a lunar rover right
there head on into the lunar samples vault how
big this thick this door is we can touch some moon rock away from Apollo 17 in
1972 we touched it and they are still to this day here at this facility testing
moon rock and other chemicals and stuff
and we're going back outside we have to still just ruining all my audio but can
I do a big jet there let's see how we can get into the Boeing 747 yep go right
up on inside first thing I'd do if this was mine is I would remove the dinette
and I guess you gotta have a workstation get this power panel and the micro
printer from the shuttle here's the flight deck how hard could be its
construction manual be
Oh am i never mind I don't want to learn all that that's why you guys get paid
the big bucks down there we've got the satellite motor cradle it's kind of like
an Airstream on the inside instead it's a via air lock
alright lastly before we exit we're at the front or the pressure dome a
web-like structure is a pressure dome technically called the aft pressure
bulkhead and it looks like tin foil say I don't take you guys places and luckily
they kept putting off the rain now it's not gonna hit till like 10:00 p.m.
tonight so they want a possible rainy day I put my head out we're gonna try
some astronaut ice cream it's an ice-cream sandwich I don't know are you
a laborer okay hey it actually looks like an ice-cream sandwich it's very
lightweight take a look here
oh it looks like a space ice-cream sandwich that is so weird got the colors
and everything in there it's not quite like normal a spring
that's really weird it literally tastes like ice cream
no good all right well had fun in there learned a lot as a great extra piece to
add to the Cape Canaveral stuff but I just want to close this out before I go
back out in the wind I'll update you when I get back to the RV though hey
it's still moist here in the Houston Texas area had an absolute blast forgot
to close out that video but had a lot of fun at the NASA Houston Center so to mix
that with the one over at Cape Canaveral Florida I feel like I got the full
experience but I still want to go to like Washington DC eventually so I know
they got some NASA stuff there definitely I had a blast but I got to
talking with my friends there and Bob's a cook and so he taught me some new ways
to cook chicken and my veggies so really excited to introduce that it'll be fun
but yeah the whole camera thing it keeps catching me off guard and the more
traveling I'm doing the more it's happening it's like you can no longer
use a normal camera the only thing you can bring in anywhere is a cell phone
and I don't know I try to capture good video and then it's like the ten dollar
tripod can't come in and the microphone can't but the $1,200 camera is fine it's
like you're it doesn't make it keeps happening so people keep calling stuff
professional like like GoPros aren't allowed so many places now this is this
is probably new you know to the last few years more and more indoor place as a
NASA of all people like they have royalty-free videos everything on NASA
is non copyright so the fact that they're limiting the amount of cameras
and GoPros you can bring in it's like yeah but I can use any possible YouTube
footage and not get in trouble from nestlings that's very weird but you
should know that it's going on and it is frustrating as a Video Creator to
continue to be turned down this is going to kill my industry of vlogging
everywhere I go you know again I'm paying admission and you guys didn't so
you know maybe they're just trying to make it you can only shoot crummy cell
phone video well it's not always about the equipment I can actually shoot
pretty good video on a cell phone too which I probably should have done now
that I looked at the audio because pretty much everything outdoors is
ruined it is what it is so over here you guys here my generator I have to run the
generator that's why I didn't pull the generator out when I got this massive
solar system because you're not gonna always get Sun you may get days and days
and days where the Sun doesn't even come out so and when that happens even me
I've got to run the generator for four or five hours just to top off my
batteries for normal use it happens yeah but what do I got going on for February
I'm no longer buying tickets or planning anything because anything outdoors can
be canceled in Texas and you know we're getting that April shower much much
earlier in Texas so I got to just play everything by ear keeping a close eye on
my stuff up in Livingston I can jet back up there and then I have one big ticket
for March rain or shine pretty much you know okay some more Texas stuff coming I
appreciate you guys being patient with me maybe if I weren't on a schedule I
could just wait for a sunny nice day to vlog but I got it I got to play with the
weather a little bit I'll show you inside real quick I also have to run the
air conditioned air today because it's 78 degrees with rain and thunderstorms I
can't crack a window because they'll just get rainy in here so it's just
tricky sometimes it's not that bad it's not that big a deal
Jack's man Jack's man what do you do when it rains you know just lounge
around and call my servant whenever I need something he's pretty good at it
and it's kind of slow but you know works NASCAR season is about in full bloom
really really excited so yeah TV Netflix video games a little bit editing here
and there and waiting for the weather to pass you guys take care of Jack's and
I'll see you very soon
