Really realy cool place. The Saturn five is a truly massive awe inspiring machine. I had a short visit while I was waiting on my passport to be completed at the consulate in Houston but this left an indelible mark in my memory.
Nice place to visit with your kids. Fun & educational.nnOne of the best places to visit around the Houston area. This place is part of Space Center Houston, this hangar features a restored Saturn VnnThere are some benches outside the facility and also inside the hanger.nnMighty and massive, the Saturn V rocket at NASA Johnson Space Center is the tallest, heaviest and most powerful rocket ever flown. NASA used the colossal Saturn V rockets primarily during the Apollo program to send Americans to the Moon.nnThe Saturn V rocket stands 363 feet tall and has dazzled viewers since its first un-crewed takeoff, the Apollo 4 mission in 1967. When fueled and ready for launch, the rocket can weigh 6.2 million pounds (2.8 kg). That is almost the same weight as 39 space shuttle orbiters.
This rocket is part of Space Center Houston. Based on signage next to the display, it is the final Saturn rocket built. Until the 1990's it laid unprotected from the environment and wildlife. JSC is a wildlife preserve, with many deer, alligators, etc having the run of the land. Around 1999 a preservation process began saving this important piece of space history.
Johnson Space Center Saturn V rocket or is extremely interesting. All the Apollo missions are posted on the wall. Including some of their funny experiences. For some it's a place for you would want to go if you're looking at Nostalgia. And the future is yet to come. Be advised though, taking photos of the Saturn V rocket is one of those things for you will have to take some time figuring out how to best deal with it. Very interesting, very all inspiring.
You have to see it to appreciate it. Easily one of the most incredible things I've ever laid my eyes upon. While the restoration of this historic masterpiece has been extremely well-done, the tragedy with this display is the building that houses it. The Saturn V is so big that you can't actually see the whole thing at once because the building it sits in is so small. Hopefully JCS is able to pull off building a better display format one day, but nonetheless, still an absolutely incredible experience.
