July 18, 2009 - The Final Frontier - Mechanism (181)

I visited the NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, recently. Here are some photos of the rocket that took the men to the moon. It is enormous!! Each photo shows a different segment(s) of it. Due to blogger logic, only the third photo enlarges.

    I like the last photo with the boys, it gives a good sence of how big that thing is.

    Gorgeous detail in your photos! Imagine NOW going to the moon in that thing?! I read somewhere that when they were on their way home a button or something got stuck and he used the cap of a Bic pen to fix it! Oh, those good old days! lol
