Space Memories

As a veteran astronaut himself, Foo was glad to stumble upon this memorials to ruinous space missions and other space items. This one is for the seven men and women who died in the Challenger explosion in 1986.

This one actually got a rocket picture as is dedicated to the seven men and women who died in the Columbia disaster in 2003. 

Although no one died on this one, it was still very tranquil to read and learn about the small step for man and a big step for Foo kind with this honorary plaque at Tranquility Park. He was disappointed in the astronaut depiction though because they forgot to add Foo in the picture.

Mission Accepted

Foo finished off his tour of NASA's Johnson Space Center by reading up on all of the voyages gone before him. He hoped someday to make a trip himself. What a road trip that would be!

Flag it Down

Foo was happy that he would be going to space for his country! He wondered if he'd get to put it on some planet and claim it for Foo-dom!

Things Are Smaller in Space

Foo was a little concerned at first when they told him that this was the International Space Station. Unless they were going to use a miniaturization ray, he just didn't see how they were going to do it.

But when he saw the life-size module, he was much more relieved, understanding that they didn't miniaturize anything until they were actually on it. Phew. That made more sense.

Foo-ston We Have a Problem...

One of Foo's favorite parts was visiting the control center where the people guide and talk to the astronauts while they're up up and away.

Foo was so fascinated by all the lights and colors, it was nearly impossible to get him to leave and go see everything else.

Don't Blow Up

As Foo prepared for his journey into space, he got to see one of the rocket engines up close. He expressed a little concern in private that it looked a little like a giant grenade so he hope it wouldn't blow up.

Foo in Space

Foo needs E.T. to phone him so he can figure out what the writing on this Space Acorn says. He thinks it's a message from Footonia calling him home to the mothership!
