As the official visitor center of NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas - Space Center Houston is home to an array of space memorabilia, scientific displays, and historic artifacts from various NASA missions. In addition to a tram tour and Saturn V Rocket, the standout exhibit at Space Center Houston is the replica space shuttle Independence sitting atop the Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier, N905NA. As you'd expect, it's an incredible facility to explore.
In the heart of downtown Houston, Texas you'll find the Club Quarters Hotel, which was originally built as the landmark Texas State Hotel. The property was completed in 1929, and was elaborately renovated in the 2000s to become the Club Quarters Houston. During my recent Texas travel shoot this became my base of operations while exploring the "Space City".
