We aspire to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning in everyone by creating fun, memorable experiences, because we value science as an indispensable tool for understanding our world, accessibility and inclusiveness, and enriching people's lives.
 
The California Science Center is an awesome place to visit when you are in California. This is also the new home for the Space Shuttle Endeavour. I have been there multiple times and have seen the space shuttle in person, it is breath taking. Especially knowing that it has been in space and seeing how big it really is in person. Definitely a must if you love space and space travel.

Besides the article for you to read, you will also find "power words" that were used in the article with definition. The article also gives you the option to go further then the article with related links below the article called "Further Reading".

Virgin Galactic

Virgin Galactic is a website that I use to check on progress of commercial flight to outer space and back. This website will share information about milestones that this company has gone through to be able to send consumers to space, if you have the money.
 

World View: Voyage to the Edge of Space

World View is another company that is in the race to make commercial flight into outer space and back for the public. However; this is not done with a conventional aircraft with wings, but a balloon. This company is the alternative to Virgin Galactic. This site I also routinely check for progress.
