Have you ever wanted to go to space? Well if the answer is yes, you will have to go on a mission to the Kennedy Space Center. Your mission is to go on the field trip with the fourth and fifth graders of MJGDS to the Kennedy Space Center. Hop aboard the flight to Kennedy Space Center. Lift of and 5,4,3,2,1, blast off.

The first part of the trip was the bus ride. We road on the American Coach. The American coach is a charter bus company. I sat with Elior. Elior and I played on my iPhone 4S and my IPad 2. We had a contest on Doodle Jump. Then we watched some Jaguars highlights and some movies. After that we listened to the song We Are Jaguars. By doing all of that the time past. Before we knew it we were at the Kennedy Space Center.

Next we just arrived at the Kennedy Space Center. All the kids could not wait to get off the bus. Once we arrived, we had to wait 15 minutes because the teachers had to go get the tickets. Yay, we are finally inside the Kennedy Space Center. The first thing we did is check in. The next thing was that we walked so we could get on the tour bus. We got on the tour bus and we watched a video. We watched four different videos and the tour guide paused the videos because he wanted to us stuff. He showed us where NASA makes space shuttles. He told us that the building is the largest one story building ever built in the world. Keep on going your mission is not done yet.

Next, we stopped at this place. There was a big door, we waited 5-10 minutes for the door to open. When the door opened, we walked in the room and watched a movie. The movie was about the space race between the USA and Russia. We watched a video about the space race. After the video, we went to the control room and watched another video. The video was about more of the space race. I learned that the space race was not just the moon landing it was about other missions. Some missions failed, others did not. Speaking of missions, your mission is not done yet.

After we watched and learned about the space race, we were back on the tour bus to a museum. The museum was filled with spacecrafts, from the space race. They had shuttles, newspapers articles, and the car that the astronauts ride in when they are about to be arriving at the space launch. When they arrive, they go this thing and walk into the spacecraft. We saw a gift shop. I bought a plasma lamp, and a flashlight. After that we got back on the tour bus. We headed back for the entrants of the Kennedy Space Center. Hope you are OK, but hang in there, your mission is still the same.

We headed into the Kennedy Space Center so excited. The first when we headed in was seatlunch. Lunch was fun and windy. When we were eating lunch, the wind was blowing a lot so our containers of trash blew on the ground. They were birds so, they were eating food that dropped on the floor. We threw a little food on the ground and see which food was eaten. There was a cheez-it and vegetables. The bird wanted the vegetable and ate it. We were laughing and wondering why did the bird want the vegetable and not the Cheez it. Lunch was over. There was a movie that was about to start. My group I did not want to go to the movie.

After lunch, we decided to go to the rocket garden. The rocket garden had this big huge playground. In the rocket garden, we played tag. In tag I was it. There were only four people playing tag; Elior, Itamar, Benjamin and me. Tag was fun because you got to run around in this huge area. We played tag for like 7 minutes. After tag we were tired a little, but we wanted to got to Angry Birds Space Exhibit.

We were heading to Angry Birds Space, wondering what would be in there. We walked in and we couldn’t believe it with our own eyes. There was a live Angry Birds game. Here is how to play. There are two teams blue and red. There is a big catapult, you put one of the Angry Birds stuffed animals on the catapult. Pull it back, but when you pull it you can only take two steps back, and let go. There are these board things with a red color bird or a blue color bird. When you hit it, there is a sound. If you throw the bird and you get caught you will be out. I was in line then I decided to go into the mirror maze with Elior and Benjamin. Elior and Benjamin were trying to run away from me. Something happened when I was could not feel my self. After that I waited then I played the live Angry Birds. After that, we decided to go with the girls on the space simulator.

The simulator was fun. After that we played a huge game of tag with a lot of people.

The things I enjoyed were The playground (aka rocket garden), Angry Birds space, the control room, and the museum. All the places that I mentioned were my favorite places at the Kennedy Space Center. The stuff that I learned was that the space station is as wide as  two football fields, which is 220 yards if counting the endzones. Without counting the endzones, it would be 200 yards  The hubble needs refurbishing often. At the bus tour the tour guy said that at NASA,  there are 1300 hidden cameras. ET detaches from spaceship. A rocket ship is bigger than 2 statue of liberty. The hubble takes pictures of stars and solar systems forming. The largest hand painted American flag, which is at NASA. NASA building is largest one story building in the world. That is everything that I learned at the Kennedy Space Center.

On the bus ride back, this time I sat with Itamar. We watched a video called NFL Follies. NFL follies are NFL bloopers by players. We also made a video with Elior, Jagger, and Noah. The video was a humorous video about the trip. I am happy to say that your mission is completed.
