Local Tourist: Apollo--We Went to the Moon

The Henry Ford Museum just opened an exhibit about the Apollo missions to the moon and the space race that led up to it.  There are many artifacts that they had there.  Some were models.  Some were reproductions.  But there were quite a few original pieces in this display.

There are many signs to read which detail both artifacts and events.  Here are some photos, but you should go and see it yourself.


This is a 10:1 scale model of the Saturn V rocket.  It was actually launched in 2009.




This is the space suit worn by Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space.

This is a space suit worn by astronauts from the Apollo missions.
