Trooping at NASA (PICTURE-HEAVY!)


Recommended Posts

The 501st Legion was invited to attend a wedding reception at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Brandon (TK-32917) and I volunteered as tributes.

 

We arrived several hours early to look around for a while, then donned our armor and walked around. We spent the last half-our of public hours taking pictures with various NASA visitors, then goofed off while waiting for the reception to start.

Note to self: REALLY get fans for your helmet next time. Don't just say you will and then forget about it.
