The "photo op" space suits were a smashing hit! Cell phone and digital cameras were clicking away all weekend long. Ladies enjoyed "cozying up" to the life-size space suit and dreaming of an astronaut of their own.
The shuttle tire was a hit as well.
Families also enjoyed the poster and CD to take home.
Much thanks to NASA - you are the best!
