Experience the mesmerizing view of a National Historic Landmark – an authentic Saturn V rocket – one of only three in the world, located in the Saturn V Hall of the Davidson Center for Space Exploration. Our guests journey through America’s Space Race and NASA’s plan to put man on the moon and the International Space Station, and get a glimpse of the future in commercial space ventures and the latest technological innovations. Future astronauts explore the Martian surface at KidSpace, plus experience the power of the first test firing of the five F-1 Saturn V engines and the importance behind their testing at Marshall Space Flight Center in "The Force."

Tour mockups of two ISS modules containing 20 full-scale replica racks that illustrate the Environmental Control and Life Support System, the food astronauts consume and a sleeping berth, among other necessary aspects of life and work aboard the station. A connecting node contains a full-scale replica of the Cupola Observation Module, which provides ISS astronauts their view of space and the Earth below. This exhibit is NASA grant-funded.

Space Craze explores the public fascination with all things space through the lens of popular culture. Space themes appear in everyday household items, toys and games, and popular entertainment. And the public appeal of space reverberates in NASA messaging and programs. This nostalgic exhibit features touchstones across generations of artifacts from G.I. Joe to Snoopy to commemorative memorabilia.
