For some tests on the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope, I had to be in the Johnson Space Center in Houston. We had free access to some of the historical buildings, like the control room for the Apollo missions, which I could visit during one of my night shifts. I could also visit the building where a Saturn V rocket was lying without all the people that are in the building during official tours. What a huge rocket!

In the visitor center, the NASA airplane that transported the space shuttles could be seen (with a mock-up of a space shuttle), Gemini 4 and Apollo 17 (the last mission to the moon).
