Having grown up in the 50’s and 60’s it was great to see all these things we heard about on the radio, then TV and magazines in real time today. A real “blast from the past”. The 747 with the piggyback shuttle by the entrance sets the stage for the many actual and mock-ups of the various spacecraft from Mercury through Gemini to Apollo and the Shuttle. The tour took us to the backup mission control, now used for training. It was where we used to watch intently while they controlled the various missions. One of the few intact and complete Saturn V’s is lying horizontally in a hanger at the rocket park. It is huge and must be seen to appreciate just how big and complex it is. There are virtually thousands of ducts, wires, tanks, switches and valves that all have to work perfectly or it was a no go or worse. It is a tribute to the scientists, engineers, workers, technicians and astronauts that such a vehicle got us to the moon and back. Just shows we can do just about anything if the will and the money is there. Very enjoyable visit.
