Visit Marshal Space Flight Center during ASA?

Post by Feuerfresser »

Do you know, if it is possible to take a bus ride to MSFC during a weekend-ASA?

I doubt that it would be part of the schedule. However, you could probably go either before or after ASA if you planned for it. I am unfamiliar with the MSFC tour schedule.

unless you are a foreign national....

Yeah, they suspended ALL Camper tours on base after 9/11, but they came back a few years ago. Unfortunately, foreign nationals are banned from coming on the base (if they bother to board the bus and check IDs, which they almost always do). Steve would be most familiar with the tour schedules.

Last year at the Advance Adult Academy in October, we DID get a bus tour to Marshall included, but those who weren't American citizens stayed behind and had a different activity with our Astronaut Trainers. They were not disappointed and neither were those of us who got to go to Marshall.

That was during the weeklong, not a weekend, correct?
