Musicians know that the only way to get to Carnagie Hall is"practice, practice, practice." It's also the only way to get to be an astronaut. In this large hall at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, you can see all of the modules of the International Space Station (ISS) as well as several Shuttle simulators. This is where astronauts train to learn where everything is and how to manipulate instrumentation inside the modules. You will notice several Shuttle models. One is full sized, one (directly facing the camera) only contains the flight deck, and a third, pointing straight up, is used to simulate the crew cabin at the launch pad.
