Houston Space Center - Texas

Main command center in the US for space exploration. Site provides many exhibits for viewing. One of my recollections of the visit was the size of the rockets and space ship. Even with being able to see a launch to the International Space station from Cape Canaveral, you are not able to appreciate the size of these vehicles and the rocket power that must be required to launch.

Houston Space Center controls all of our outer world activities

John`s Recollections
The Space Center has many of the rockets used to send man to the moon and beyond. One standout is the size of the rockets, much larger than one would expect. The Space Command center in Houston is a reminder of past space explorations.
