So yesterday we visited the Kennedy Space Center. you get lots of information about current NASA projects, the crew and the job of an astronaut. but they don't tell u in person. no, they let u sit in freeeeeezin cold theatres (imax) and u watch a film for about 20min, then go to the next room where you get to see another film. everything was sooo patriotic! U.S. flags everywhere, proud soldiers blahblah..
oh and i'm still veeeeery sceptic about that moon landing thing. i mean, seriously, the claim to have been on the moon 50 yrs ago, but today, after 50 years of progress in technology, they really dont make it up there again? hard to believe! so yeah, maybe someone cruised a little around the moon, in its sphere or sth, but i dont think they really walked on it. so basically what they said in the videos was sth like "yeah, we've been on the moon, why go again?" (maybe because u suck at it?) and "yeeeahhh we'd like to go on mars next" (sure *cough*). Whatever.
so after our guided bus tour - i've never felt so much like a dumb tourist - we actually went to a launch simulator. that was fun! it made noise and vibrated like a real rocket and they put u in an almost vertical position, just like the astronauts who have to hang around like that for 3hrs before they get to flyyyyyyyy thru space. oh yeah the pictures from the inside of that rocket thing were cool :D i mean u can put floating peanut butter on a floating pancake hahah :D
apart from the videos and the launch simulator there was not much else to see. i mean yeah, exhibitions and models, but you know me... ;) i, personally, was fascinated by a very very cute squirell eating popcorn (see pic). so i asked myself where it got the popcorn from and saw a little boy with an XXL box of popcorn with an XXL coke next to it. no wonder they all look like balloons over here! the whole park contained about 10 stands where you can get snacks. there was exactly 1 that offered a fruit cup.
so back to nature! on our bus tour we saw an eagle's nest as big as a king size bed! so you could easily lie in there and take a nap (how cool is that..??). oh and there are pelicans, other weird birds and aligator all around the place for it's a NASA protected wildlife whatever area... pretty cool though.
ummm yeah, today was a lazy day. i was at the mall real quickly, ran through victoria's secret (SAAAAALE), came out with a biiiiiig shopping bag. oh yes baby. so now we're here again, gettin a nice sun tan (as far as it is possible for me to get a tan.......swiss cheese loli says hi! oh btw, my 80 yr old neighbour told me i looked "awfully white" thanks ma'm!)
oh, dinner time! byeee
