I got a great tour of the "Clean Room" at the NASA facility in Greenbelt, Maryland. This is where they do final assembly for things like repairs for the Hubble Telescope and the STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) Spacecraft. Very cool to see this place up close. Of course since this is they're last stop before heading out into space, it's important they leave without "a hair out of place" so to speak... -S
