The Johnson Space Center is a must-see, massive facility located in Houston, TX where NASA is actively working on research and development of space exploration technology, trains astronauts, quarantines/provides a recovery facility for astronauts after space flight, and has a building dedicated as a vault for holding extra-terrestrial material returned from space missions.
Here are some of the highlights from my visit to Johnson Space Center.

I was able to touch a Mars rock that was recovered from a Mars meteorite. I also touched a lunar rock that was returned from the Apollo 17 moon mission in 1972.
