NASA/Ames flight simulator tour - part 1

The same day we toured the centrifuge, we also toured the flight simulator. There was a test going on and we got to watch the bottom of the module as it glided around. Today, Dr. P needed help with his computer and while Andy and I were there, I asked if it would be all right if I showed Jonathan a little of what we'd seen. Dr. P said sure! So I brought Jonathan to the building after work. Dr. P was gone but we happened upon a very nice engineer who was excited to show us INTO the flight sim module and control room!

Wow! Jonathan was the most excited as he's been this whole visit. :D
