PwC has provisionally cleared me to join the firm first week of Jan. What does this mean? Can I start working with them even if the background check is still running in parallel? Can I quit my current job and expect everything to be cool? They said it's taking them longer to verify education and previous employment. Both of which are international.

It’s fine. If the kid wants to be an astronaut, for sure go. Slim pickings in Houston for where to bring your visiting family.
Houston has a city pass that gives you access to NASA, the zoo, Kemah boardwalk rides, museums, aquarium, and more. I normally will get that when family comes into town
And we bring our nieces and nephews to NASA, maybe there might be one particular thing that kids can’t do, but they can do most
Agree with A1, if it’s your first time in town, you’re getting the Space Center treatment!
For sure check out NASA. As a kid I wanted to be an astronaut too, so we went out there every couple months. Back then it was the coolest place on the planet to me.
Strongly recommend going early and queuing up to see tours as soon as you check in (done via app or something). Had friends visit, showed up at 12 and the tours were booked out. When I last went in 2018, the Saturn rocket (seen in the tour) was the highlight of the visit, everything within the museum was lackluster (the space section of London science museum was better). Though I believe there are new exhibits since my last visit.
If he is into space and science subject then he may like it as exhibits are targeted towards broader audience. Also lines will be longer than usual around this time of the year so plan accordingly. There are some outdoor for which you need board a monorail and the lines there are too long so if were you I would go early view outdoor exhibit first. Dress proper as there are lot stairs to climb and you would be expose to weather while outside.
Space Center is so good. For the Instagrammers in the family, there's a rocket garden. For the space fans, there's examples of modules on the ISS. The tour is completely worth it since you get to see the control room and find out about the bikes (really cool system on the campus). And you know those NASA shirts no one can ever find but everyone wants? In the gift shop, along with multiple flavors of astronaut ice cream.
NASA Is a scam - it’s overpriced for the exhibits that it offers. There are literally 3 good things to see there - the original 747 + replica shuttle, spacex falcon 9 and the Saturn 5. You pay ~200 for a average family
I’ve been to the air and space museum in chantilly VIrginia and it was free and had hundreds of aircraft plus the real shuttle.
