Marker Text: While traveling through Alabama, we invite you to visit the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, home of the U.S. Space Camp®. The journey through the U.S. Space and Rocket Center will lead you from the beginning of rocketry to today's Space Launch System, the space shuttle's replacement, and beyond. The museum's collections include the original Mercury and Gemini capsule trainers, the Apollo 16 spacecraft that carried astronauts to and from the moon, and one of only three remaining Saturn V rockets in the world. The U.S. Space and Rocket Center boasts one of the greatest collections of rockets and space memorabilia in the world, with interactive hands-on exhibits, public bus tours of Marshall Space light Center, space simulators, and an IMAX® theater.
