Us playing at the Kennedy Space Centre - Stacy, Will, Chloe and Me.
In front of the Saturn V, the rocket that took man to the moon. Standing next to it makes you realise how brave these guys were to strap themselves into a cockpit smaller than the cabin of my Corolla sitting on top of these enormous construction filled with liquid hydrogen and oxygen. In this picture I am touching the tip of that stabiliser, it is a ridiculously large object....
This is the booster stage for the space shuttle.... these are the main thrust to get the shuttle up to high altitude, then they fall into the ocean and are retrieved by the Navy.

The actual control room for the pre-moon missions..... before they moved to Houston.
The main rocket engine for the Saturn V.... Strap this to the back of your car Nath....
The bridge to the cabin, this is the same walk that Neil Armstrong did on his way to the controls of Apollo 11
