Ha....you can drag it on however long that sounds good to me. Please feel free not to dumb it down for me and not to sound like a tour guide. Im not sure how the latter of the two is possible, but um...yeah I know what I am talking about.

Well a normal tour i sgow the people the stuff and give them some history on the program and some of the missionds of that program etc. Obviously you don't need that you have the history part down fairly well but i can give you some of the background on the specific artifacts in the museum as well as what role NASA Langley played in the diffrent programs which is a perspective i doubt you have. You'd be suprised how much NASA Langley did for the space program.

I'll try not to bore you too much. Langley research center has alot of history back to its NACA founding in 1915.

Man Sara! What'd ya do?
Jason, I just read a book on Langley and the early space program. It was really interesting. You don't realize how much of the early space program actually didn't take place in Huntsville, Fl, or TX.

Well Huntsville and Florida were important in the early days but Texas really didnt come into it till Gemini. Before that the mercury Astrionauts all trained here in Virginia.

I always knew TX was later, but everyone always associates it with the early space program for some reason.

Oh and in answer to your what did I do question...you don't want to know. Jason will agree with me on this one I think.
I always associated TX with the early space program when I was little probably because I lived there.
