Hanging with W-Ham-o at KSC

While we do have a life without robots (occasionally) today was not one of those days. We met WHamO over at KSC for a demo. So after Garry and fellow Bacon member finished the demo, we headed over to the Astronaut Hall of Fame for some fun!

Even though it looks like he's just hanging out, Garry's in charge of shooting frisbees. He's in heaven!

 Bacon bits!

Bacon has given us many new friends. Bethany (a mentor and one of our passengers to Worlds in St Louis) works at KSC. To wile away the many hours to MO, Bethany told cool astronaut stories. The boys favorite story of course involved bodily functions.  So today she demonstrated the powder used to soak up urine. Bryce volunteered Shelby to be the guinea pig, but thankfully the liquid in one cup was immediately soaked up by the powder in the second cup and when Bethany dumped cup over Shelby's head, she didn't get wet!
