After the launch, Emily and I were definitely excited to fill our ground controls. We then celebrated with a great breakfast and had a chance to rest after such an eventful day. For the next couple days, we packed up the lab and got a chance to finally explore Kennedy Space Center and everything it had to offer.

With that, it was finally time to head to Orlando and fly back to San Francisco. We had a great time at Kennedy Space Center and we will definitely miss it.
