From All Roads.

Prepare to be launched into a one-of-a-kind journey through over 400 artifacts and exhibits at Space Center Houston. Guests can tour a life size replica of the original shuttle Independence, The only of its kind in the world that is mounted to an aircraft carrier.

On display in the lunar vault is the largest collection of moon rocks in the world, and the actual capsules that returned them to Earth. The future of space is on full display when you walk under SpaceX’s reusable rocket, the Falcon 9. But the Space Center experience goes far beyond replicas and education. It also includes a fully operational NASA facility.

The NASA Tram Tour rockets visitors to the Johnson Space Center, where real life astronauts train for their upcoming forays into space. The Apollo Mission Control Stop offers a time capsule experience from July 20th, 1969, when humans first landed on the moon. And at Rocket Field, the original Saturn 5, which flew the astronauts to the moon, covers the length of an entire football field.
