Galveston / Houston Space Center

Hi, thought I'd post a few picture from a brief daytrip to Galveston today, swinging by the Houston Space center on the way back.

Gulf of Mexico



Memorial to the thousands killed in the Hurricane of 1900



Houses on Stilts


Seafront


Tankers in the bay


Oil Rig in port


BIG cruise ship!



T-38 gate guardians


Needs no explanation really:


Rocket Park


Saturn 5 - what a beast!










Cheers! '80 109 Stage 1 V8 - still going strong!

Haha, no!

Never had a front plate in Utah, and hope to be moving back there soon, so do not want to drill into my front bumper just to keep the Texans happy Laughing '80 109 Stage 1 V8 - still going strong!

I'm still in awe of the fact that three guys sat on top of that thing and went safely to the moon and back. Funny when you hear under 40's doubting it ever happened. Truly amazing. Saturn 5 - is it the greatest achievement in transport ever?

I went there years ago as a teenager and walking around the Saturn 5 was breath taking.
Pictures don't do it justice on how massive it is, and how much is just engines and fuel to shove it into space. The human part is tiny in comparison.

Good pictures as ever. Thumbs Up

The GB sticker on the back always raises a smile as well. In loving memory of FA54WSK.

Rest well old friend, your work is done.
