Pacific to Atlantic: Space : The Final Frontier
http://pacific2atlantic.blogspot.com/2007/08/space-final-frontier.html
Saturday, August 11, 2007. Space : The Final Frontier. Spent a large part of the day today at the Johnson Space Center. Feel inspired to start looking into becoming an Astronaut soon :-). NASA is aiming to get Humans back to the moon by 2020, and to Mars by 2030 - so they were indicating to the 5-10 years old kids that they could be the first humans to walk on Mars! The story of space exploration always fascinates me. I remember enjoying the visit to Kennedy Space Center. Of course, Houston visit was not...

Pacific to Atlantic: August 2007
http://pacific2atlantic.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 12, 2007. End of the road. Four weeks on the road. Meeting and exceeding all my expectations from the trip. Awesome! Heading back to the East Coast from Houston Intercontinental Airport today. The rental car receipt - at around $2500 - didn't send any shivers down the spine :-) With expenses for accommodation, food, gas, memorabilia, etc. running to around $2000 (I guess) shared between the two of us, I think the trip was entirely worth it! Ain't it a wonderful world! NASA is aiming to get...

Friday, August 10, 2007. Lone Star State. Finally! Arrived in Texas on Wednesday 8th Aug. JH and I parted ways in Dallas; JH heading to the Dallas Fort Worth Airport and back to California, and I heading to VJ's place. I wanted to visit Texas as I wanted to meet up with my friends, while JH wasn't really keen on spending time in Texas. The only attraction he wanted to see in Texas was the Alamo in San Antonio, which we could not include in the schedule. The visit to the Frontiers of Flight Museum. Got to...

Thursday, August 2, 2007. Gateway to the West. In St Louis, Missouri since Tuesday evening till today afternoon.
