U.S. space programme veterans are always on hand to give you extra tips and provide you with detailed information about the shuttles and their uses in space.

If the experience of simulated space flight was not enough, grab some lunch with an experienced astronaut. This one-hour experience is a great opportunity to ask questions and meet a real space explorer. Visitors should book in advance and meetings do come at an extra cost.
