The NASA Ames Research Center in the Silicon Valley in northern California is one of 10 NASA facilities. In its Exploration Center visitors can experience space technology through a high resolution immersion theater and other interactive opportunities that allow children and adults to explore Mars and the rings of Saturn. In a short visit, Alex had an opportunity to see himself as an astronaut and check out a replication of the inside of the Space Shuttle. Alex has logged 100,000 flight miles around the earth at just four years old, it won't be long before he's ready to explore further into our solar system.
