Gemini and Apollo astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, gives an autograph to one of the schoolchildren attending the official opening of the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The 100,000-square- foot facility includes two theaters, various exhibits and an Apollo-era Saturn V rocket, which formerly was on display outside the Vehicle Assembly Building and is one of only three moon rockets remaining in existence. The new center is located off the Kennedy Parkway at the Banana Creek launch viewing site and will be an attraction of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center.
