At the Johnson Space Center in Houston, there used to be a terrific display of a real Saturn V rocket. The rocket that took men to the moon. My only photo of it below doesn't come close to doing it justice, especially since it was taken after they had removed the command module and launch escape tower. Everybody who drove by the Center could take in this marvelous spectacle.
But, the
Smithsonian, the curator of this wonderful display, decided to
improve it (protect it?), Amazing !!!The barn manages to also
hide the Apollo Spacecraft, the Gemini-Titan vehicle and Couldn't they at least hide this monstrosity behind some murals depicting what it contains? Bear in mind this
wasn't done by Texas A&M, but by the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian!
