    "The Apollo launch base can be visited for half a day to a day. The place is large, and there are several different tour routes outdoors. You have to take an appointment card to visit. It takes some time to watch the report slowly indoors. There are paid projects, and the number of queues is not too much. There is also a large canteen in the NASA center, so don't worry about going hungry for a day."
    Houston
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: Houston Space Center (SpaceCenterHouston) and NASA Johnson Space Center (NASAJohnsonSpaceCenter) should be said to be two places, but inseparable. Johnson Space Center is the largest aerospace research, production and control center in the United States. American space rockets and space shuttles are launched in Florida, but all control is done here. This is, of course, the control center for the 1969 moon landing. So the first word humans said on the moon was "Houston", so much so that now people joke about "Houston, wehave aproblem" (Houston, we're in trouble).

    "The only World Heritage Site in Texas is in San Antonio, and five Spanish mission stations, including The Alamo, not only witness the history of Spain's colonial period, but also showcase the culture of Spanish missionaries and indigenous peoples, without tickets. It’s just that parking costs about $40. There are staff members showing the items used by people at the time, and there are people explaining on the spot... It’s worth everyone to understand, the Alamo Battle at that time."
