It's well worth seeing if you have any interest in the US space program*. Walking under the Saturn V gives you a good impression of just how friggin' BIG the thing was. Great photos you took of her! And I enjoyed the 'rocket garden' of a dozen or so rockets set up so you could walk around between them.

* They do have a Soviet capsule too. I think, it might be Cape Canaveral in Florida though.

I was stationed in Redstone Arsenal in the late 90s (Jan 1996-99). I visited the sights and there was a lot to see around Huntsville.

And by contrast, just how small the capsules are - especially if you go back to the Gemini and Mercury capsules.  

A bit of history, the Saturn V standing outside is indeed a model.  It was constructed in 1999 and the actual Saturn V (which was a test vehicle) was moved inside.

And I thought 1/48 was large.

Yes, the one inside is the real deal size-wise. It is so big it boggles the mind.  That and the whole display they have of the controller that IBM created for it was really interesting. I'd wished we had had more time there but my original reason for going was that they had an IPMS junior modelers show there that weekend.

In Huntsville, I mean not the museum.
