This Week: Space Center Houston / NASA

The main attraction of Rocket Park is the Saturn V rocket which was used to launch man to the moon. There are three Saturn V rockets on display in the US, but the one in Houston is the only one made up entirely of sections that were intended for space flight.

The Saturn V used to sit outside with the Redstone and Little Joe II, but after years of suffering Houston's weather it underwent a $5 million dollar restoration which included a climate controlled building. You can see pictures and read about the restoration here. You can see my full set of photos from the day here.

UPDATE: D'oh! I forgot to add the file. Here's the picture. Thanks mom and American Grey!
