Thanks for stopping by. My husband -- a space program nerd since he was a kid in the '60's -- thinks the rocket is supposed to be a Mercury Redstone, which he says would be shorter. I'm not so much a NASA nerd, so I'll let you two figure it out. I agree with you about the distances; if I could rearrange Houston's layout, it would be a much different city. Hi Erin!

I saw this and had to click through -- being transplanted to Houston and a NASA nerd. The rocket might actually be sort of to scale. It looks like it's supposed to be the Saturn V rocket, which was 111 meters/363 feet tall when assembled. It actually is over half the size of the Pennzoil Place building! (Yes, I looked it up ... I'm fascinated by stuff like that!) :) If only things in Houston really were that close -- it would make driving through the city a lot easier! Hello, fellow Holidailies-er!
