Message-ID: <2057@mpirbn.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> Date: 17 May 91 13:43:10 GMT Reply-To: p257shu@mpirbn.UUCP (Susanne Huettemeister) Organization: Max-Planck-Institut fuer Radioastronomie, Bonn Lines: 21 We ( seven couragous amateur astronomers from Bonn, Germany) will be in Houston on June 15th (Saturday) on our way to Mexico, where we plan to observe the upcoming total solar eclipse. While in Houston, we want to visit the Johnson Space Center. Our question is: What can the "average" visitor (that is: without a special appointment or personal contacts) see? During the Gulf War, some people posted statements saying that visitors weren't allow to proceed very far, let alone see something interesting. But even then there were quite a few contradictions between different people. So, does anybody out there in Netland know what the current status is, now that the world is (sort of) peaceful again? Please post or E-mail your replies! Thanks very much, Susanne Huettemeister, Daniel Fischer and five others without access to the net
