Not to disapoint you but the Apollo launch control down there is a
re-creation from equipment in the orginal firing rooms.

Yeah, they do mention that in the tour. The equipment is real, and
original -- it's just all been moved into a different room.

It was a great afternoon and I got several hours of one on one time with
him
but the really surreal part was when I took him into our museum
specifically
to the display on Apollo gear that we had made. While we were looking at
the
gear he saw a transponder that was installed in an ALSAP experiment
package.
I said I was not sure what the ALSAP was but he knew, of course, and then
said that the picture of the astronaut carrying the experiment package on
the moon with eh item was him. It really made me feel strange to think
that
here was that guy standing right next to me.

That is so cool. Who would ever have thought, back in those heady days,
that there would only be a handful of guys to ever land on the moon?
