NASA should build replicas of all the Apollo and Artemis modules and set them up around the country. It would be awesome to visit a space museum and sit in one.


Don't they have one at Stennis or am I remembering my childhood wrong?


I'd go crazy in that capsule for 10 days, especially with all the wires and shite all over the place. Is better cable management too much to ask for?

That’s how they pay for the missions and that’s why they aways have a female crewman. OnlyFans.

Also, anyone wanting tourist ideas in Charleston, the Yorktown at Patriot's Point is a must. I can't over emphasize how cool it is, and I'm not even a WWII enthusiast.

Don’t forget to visit the destroyer that’s there. It has an interesting history concerning kamikaze attacks.

They took all the knobs out, added annoying touchscreens and some other useless features that the astronauts didn't ask for. A high-price, low-quality McCommand Module. The next step is a subscription service for lossless moon-to- earth transmissions and a Mission Control chatbot.

There’s no denying if you blow up the toilet in that setup.

Rest area near Stennis (MS-607 and I-10) had a full scale training version of the Lunar Lander, including concrete footprints at the base from astronaut Fred Haise -- Mississippi boy who was the pilot on Apollo 13. Yeah that mission, which caused Haise to never set foot on the moon. Thus the reverence from this Mississippi boy for those footprints.

Looks like Haise is still with us. New summer bucket list is to read his book and travel to coastal MS to pay my respects.
