The experience with the astronaut was good and informative. The food and drink could have been a lot better for the price. The astronaut was also rushed at the end and left quickly. I believe that this event could have been done a lot better.

We come from far away and getting to talk to a REAL astronaut is incredible and on the other hand, the motivation it generates in my youngest son to study nuclear engineering!!!! Wonderful!

Meeting Sam Gunar for breakfast and asking 'British' questions that made him chuckle Engaging with knowledgeable tour guide (slim young man with dark hair enhanced our timer Watching the launch We were given wrong directions to meet Sam which made us late

Chat with an Astronaut was wonderful. We absolutely loved the small group setting, and Sam Gemar could not have been better! He was entertaining and endearing and seemed to really enjoy being with us. The Saturn V Center was, however, not very enjoyable. Particularly because the lunch lines were so incredibly long and the waiting for food was even longer. It wasn't even a very busy day! For an elderly patron to stand in line waiting for their food for nearly 30 minutes is absurd. Also, why don't you offer hot dogs? Thank you, Aurelia J. Schutz

Very interesting event! However, there is no photo opportunity during the event; one has to stand in lomg line with other guests that did not buy this extra event to have a picture with the astronaut. I did not really appreciate this part.
