Johnson Space Center Houston (NASA)

Space Fans,


I spent my entire day at Johnson Space Center and had a chance visit some of the Astronaut training facilities. I took a few pictures and hope you guys enjoy them.

POSTS 1-5





I'll start off with Space Shuttle Adventure. ( Mock up of a Shuttle)









The old John.














Notice some divers in the pool. Their are two Astronauts traning under water. For every Astronaunt their are 3 divers to assist in case of an emergency.










Pictures of the old Mission Control.







The red phone in the corner is to contact the Pentagon Directly.




The Flag in the back is said to have been on the Moon.


Rocket Park








Saturn V




TO BE CONTINUED
 

Keep'em flying.

Re: Johnson Space Center Houston (NASA)

You just sealed it for me, I need to plan a trip there.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

That's correct Mustangdriver, for many years Saturn V had been exposed to the sun, rain, and hail causing corrosion. For about 2 years Saturn V was off limits due to restoration.

 

Keep'em flying.
