#4 Houston Heat

Shared by Morgan Nguyen – 36 ❤️

“Houston, up close and personal. Big, bold, and full of surprises. A city where NASA shares a skyline with cocktail bars, where world-class dining meets down-home hospitality, and where we somehow managed to avoid melting under the Texas sun.”

#3 Space Center

Shared by Darius Smith – 86 ❤️

“Where history & the future collide. “Houston, we have a problem” hit differently while standing in the actual Mission Control Room. Seeing the old Apollo tech, touching an actual moon rock, and staring at rockets that once defied gravity? Unreal.”
