U.S. Space & Rocket Center

 The Visitor Center is located on Interstate 565 in Huntsville, Alabama.

Rockets dominate the skyline, especially the only standing Saturn V rocket anywhere.

The Mayor stands beside a mock-up of the Russian MIR space station.  Very roomy, but much small than the ISS.

The First Lady stares up at the Saturn V.  That black thing in the upper left is just part of 1 first stage engine.  There are five on the first stage.

One area of the Center features a Space Shuttle Park dedicated to the Crew of the Challenger.

This is where they hold Space Camp, complete with a Coke machine right out of Star Trek.

The Apollo Exhibit.

The most powerful vehicle ever built, the Saturn V rocket is nearly 400 feet tall.

The Pathfinder is not an actual working space shuttle.  It is a full-scale mock-up of an actual space shuttle.  While you are free to walk around it, it cannot be entered.
