This blog documents the adventures of Elissa and Bill Banas while in Houston for the STS-135 NASA Tweetup at Johnson Space Center. 30 people from around the country were invited to attend and were given access that most "everyday" civilians never receive. STS-135 landed two days after our tweet-up and marked the end of NASA's Shuttle era.

After we left the SIM, we were brought into the SIM control room.
Each of us was allowed to sign the logbook for the Motion-based Shuttle SIM.
Here's Ron signing the log. As a pilot, he can actually log the SIM time in his personal logbook.
Next, Bill signed the log. He also plans to log the SIM time in his pilot logbook. Behind him, Dayna Steele tweets about her experience in the SIM.
Here is Elissa also signing the log book for the Motion-based Shuttle SIM. She is not a pilot and will not be logging her SIM time in any logbook - maybe a scrapbook, but not a pilot's logbook.
After the SIM, Astronaut Clayton Anderson met and talked with us about the Space Shuttle program and NASA.
He was also kind enough to pose for pictures with all of us tweeps.
Here's an interview Dayna Steele did with him while we looked on in the SIM room.
