If you have arrived at the coordinates you will find yourself at NASA. This is the Michoud Assembly Facility where much of the United States Space Program began. The Saturn 5 booster stage that launched all of the moon missions as well as all of the External Tank for the Space Shuttles were built here. Currently portions of the Orion Capsule slated to take the first men to Mars is being built here also.
There are two metal sculptures near ground zero. One is honoring STS 107 which was the Columbia Mission that was lost upon reentry over Texas. The other is dedicated to the brave Challenger Crew who made the ultimate sacrifice, in the quest to explore the Universe and discover it's truths for all mankind.
To claim this virtual you will need to send me an email with the following information: How many stars are on the Challenger Sculpture and what is the date on the bottom of the sculpture.
Since this virtual has changed since the rocket booster formerly at this site has been moved to the Infinity Science Center just over the Mississippi. border to the east of Louisiana. Please visit this great museum if in the area.
