Today, my daughter and I visited the Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey. We had a great time with the interactive exhibits.

The photo below shows the detail area of the shuttle rudder. I think they've cheated in some places by changing the picture coloration instead of finding photos that actually change from light to dark.

At this exhibit, you could launch paper airplanes. The goal was to fly the plane through a hoop about 10 feet away.

Here, you could see how much you would weigh on other planets.
Mercury — good! Jupiter — bad!

Here, you could land the space shuttle. It was not pretty! :-(

At this exhibit, you could use the yoke, the rudder, and the throttle to take off, turn, and land this plane.
