Love the pix. Really Do.

I went to KSC as a young kid but knew nutin.

Now...I would happy lick the paint off a Saturn V.

KSC is one of the only places with a real Saturn V, LM and CSM...the lunar rover is a test example as all the real ones are far away...

I would go Florida again just to see this.

The Saturn 1Bb is smaller than the Saturn V and was used for the Apollo orbital missions such as the Skylab and Soyuz-Apollo missions. It is also displayed in the 'Rocket Garden'
