SEEC SCHEDULE
Space Center Houston is listening! This year, we have modified the schedule to insure longer time in between break-out sessions. This will help the flow of traffic and bus transportation to and from NASA tours and the Gilruth. We have also made Thursday, February 4th a full day so we may end early on Saturday, February 6th. This should be of assistance to those who need to travel Saturday afternoon.
