In 2008, the US Space and Rocket Center opened a major new addition, The Davidson Center. It is filled with a Saturn V rocket and various artifacts and displays associated with its development and missions. These include rocket engines, instruments, wind tunnel models, a flown Apollo Command Module, and many others, such as the gravesites of squirrel monkey Miss Baker and her husband, Big George. A recent visit to the museum revealed all that it has to offer (see “Huntsville and the Final Frontier,” The Space Review, December 15, 2025.)
