50th Anniversary of NASA

Wow! If you are a space geek, like me, you are going to love NASA's 50th Anniversary site. Along with tour guide Automa and a time-line that allows users to explore NASA's past, present and future, visitors can spend hours re-living NASA's accomplishments, disappointments, triumphs, failures and hope for the future. This site is a wonderful mixture of science and history. Fun for kids of all ages, visit http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/50th/main.html . Be sure to share this with your future astronauts!
