U.S. Space and Rocket Center

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is located in Huntsville, AL, and serves as the Visitor Center for Marshall Space Flight Center.

The USSRC holds a special place in my heart: While I've always been interested in the space program, that interest lay dormant from about the time I graduated school until 2002, when a coworker who went to a NASCAR race in Talladega brought back some pictures from a side trip to the USSRC. As I avidly thumbed through his pictures, he said that it was only a day's drive away. And so I made that 11½ hour trip down I-65 that summer, and again, and again -- sometimes two or three times a year. As of October 2011, it's 19 trips (and counting).

It was on the drive home from the first USSRC trip when I thought to myself, "Well, there are only 15 manned Apollo command modules; it shouldn't be that hard to see all of them." Around that time I discovered the Field Guide to American Spacecraft, and the rest is history (or at least this website).

As of now, I have not yet sorted through all of my pictures from the USSRC, but some other page references this location. Thus, this is a "place holder" version right now, with only the pictures actually referenced. Come back some time later to see if I've finished up, or drop me an email to request me to prioritize the rest of these pictures.
