Last month I had an opportunity to tour the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio with David M. DeFelice, Community Relations Team Lead.

Fortunately I was able to film some highlights of the tour.

We checked out some way cool space research facilities and I got to hold the first baseball used as the World Series ceremonial first pitch from space.
