I could probably actually do this. I took a bunch of pics of the old shuttle control room before we tore it apart. It really was a second home for me for years.
It's much better in person though. I've been told I give the best behind the scenes tours. I spend 60 hours a week in the mission control center and have studied its history extensively (I gotta know the past if I need to fix the present). I know the complex and its contents like the back of my hand. Nah. I really don't know the back of my hand that well.
As far as asteroids. I don't want to fuel speculation, but our new simulator involves trying to land the new space vehicle on an asteroid called Itokawa. It may be because we know a lot about it. I've tried it in the simulator. I crashed the first time and grossly overshot it the second time. I don't think I'm astronaut material...
