The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is Huntsville Alabama's number one tourist attraction.

Shuttle Pathfinder

You can't appreciate how large the shuttle and the booster rockets are until you stand beside it or try to fit it into a camera frame.

Patriot Missile Military Hardware

The Davidson Center below right houses an actual Saturn V rocket that is suspended above the floor and visitors.  The Saturn V is displayed with each stage separated.

Gloria, this really is a special place.  I'll probably do another post devoted just to Space Camp.  Here's a bit of trivia for you:  one of two of the first monkey's in space; Miss Baker, is buried on the grounds of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

OMG!  The last time I visited this place was for a field trip when my daughter was in 4th grade.  That was a long time ago!
