Hi team.
Have been to both, and enjoyed each visit.
If you want to see the historical stuff, Houston is the go, just because
then you have then been and seen the original control and the training
centre. Many other exhibits seem the same at both places. Actually, many
exhibits are repeated again at Smithsonian in D.C. I love each of those
places for different reasons, and will not hesitate in re-visiting any when
the opportunity may arise. If you are not planning to drop of the perch
soon, and will have more opportunities, do either, but not both on the same
trip. If you are thinking of rushing it through, you may find that your
shock of one way car rental fees will make the decision for you.
Hope this helps..
Have a great day today, and an even better day tomorrow.
Regards,
BIG KEV - Melbourne Australia
