Marshall Space Center, Huntsville, Alabama. The S-IC-T, the first stage of the Saturn V, ignites for 6.5 seconds, demonstrating its full 33,000,000 N (3,300 tons) of thrust. I visited Marshall Space Center way back in 1994, a weekend during a trip to “nearby” Tennessee. It houses a complete Saturn V. It’s impressive to see a full-scale Space Shuttle model (the Shuttle Pathfinder) appear, and booster rockets soaring above the treetops after hours of traveling through the woods. Another Saturn V is in Houston (pictured) and a third at Cape Canaveral.
