The 76ers, in Houston to face the Rockets tonight, took a field trip on Sunday to see Space Center Houston, part of coach Brett Brown's practice of taking his team to sites around the country throughout the season.
"I had a great time," guard/forward Hollis Thompson said. "We learned a lot about space at the NASA program. I think we as Americans are real proud of that."
The Sixers had previously visited the Hayden Planetarium in New York, receiving a presentation from astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and to The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial this season, with more trips planned.
