Alabama Space and Rocket Center

Back: ALABAMA SPACE AND ROCKET CENTER
America's Largest Missile and Space Exhibit. Tranquility Base, Huntsville, Alabama 35807.
The full-size Apollo Saturn V moon rocket is one of the feature attractions at the Alabama Space and Rocket Center. The five huge rocket engines develop seven and one half million pounds of thrust and consume propellents at the rate of 5,000 gallons per second. The complete vehicle - longer than a baseball field - can be viewed close up by the visitor. The Alabama Space and Rocket Center tells the story of man's past, present, and future efforts to explore space for peaceful purposes.
