I thought for sure with two days available I'd finally see the Astronaut Hall of Fame.. maybe next year
|
Hey it's the rocket garden!
|
Redstone, Atlas, Titan.. the gang's all here!
|
Looking up at a Mercury-Atlas vehicle
|
I'm not really sure what this guy is but it looks like an Atlas with an Agena on it?
|
Mercury-Redstone! It looks so small compared to modern rockets
|
Another view of the Mercury-Atlas
|
The Saturn IB dwarfs the other rockets in the garden but it's nothing compared to its big brother, the Saturn V
|
With eight H-1 engines on the back, the Saturn IB had about 26% more thrust at liftoff than a Falcon 9 (with Merlin 1D engines)
|
How funny is it that the word "F1" is so important in two of my favorite fields
|
Titan with a Gemini capsule on top
|
Hmm.. ominous weather behind the Saturn IB
|
The Apollo gantry never gets old
|
Topaz couldn't quite believe that this was the actual gantry that the Apollo astronauts walked on
|
The next surface they set foot on was the moon..
|
It's bright in an Apollo capsule
