Rocket Park is located beside the main entrance to NASA's Johnson Space Center. It was closed for about two years while an enclosure was constructed for the Saturn V rocket -- the rocket that took men to the moon. This is an actual Saturn V left over from the Apollo project. It opened to the public again in September 2006.

It's a remarkable feeling to stand beside this giant.
