I went down to Huntsville, Alabama for work and had a few extra minutes so I stopped by the US Space and Rocket Center near the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.
There was a lot of interesting rocket hardware outside the main museum buildings.
Many of the outdoor displays were of old defense systems.
Not really sure what the yellow submarine is about but there it is.
It’s pretty wild seeing all these old rockets and defense systems slowly oxidizing under the Alabama sky.
This place reminds me a bit of the touristic rocket park in Woomera.
The real show is inside the huge rocket shed where an entire Saturn 5 assembly is laid out.
It’s incredibly impressive standing under this absolutely massive rocket.
And they’ve got the Apollo 16 Command Module on display! I could have spent hours looking it over. Even the beat up old heat shield was fascinating.
