And yet another tidbit about Bogalusa is that it was on a site selection list of 23 for the location of Johnson Space Center. The list was cut to 9 and Baton Rouge and Shreveport were on that list before Houston was chosen. The land it was built on was donated by Rice University.

Try this: “Bogalousa..Tranquility base here. The eagle has landed.”

It was originally Manned Spacecraft Center
