Space Shuttle Independence mounted on 747, Johnson Space Center, Houston. The shuttle is a replica but the 747 is one of those used in the program.
2017		 Apollo 17 command module America piloted by Ronald Evans, Johnson Space Center, Houston. Apollo 17 was the last moon mission in 1972, making Harrison Schmitt and Gene Cernan the last men on the moon. I thought we would be on Mars by the turn of the century, but American leaders had more mundane ambitions after Apollo.

2017		 Gemini space walk depicted in the rafters of the Johnson Space Center, Houston. However, this is Gemini 5 and I don’t think Cooper or Conrad made a space walk on that mission. The first American space walk was Ed White on Gemini 4. Artistic license?
