Why couldn't they find anyone better than George Clooney?

How about someone with an Aviation or even Space experience - Chris Hadfield for example.

Dave Hadfield?  Their Dad Roger?

I remember watching the flight when Roger lost his card.

I have, near Houston last year. That one is inside a building they made to protect it. There was also a red stone which seems small by comparison.

I think my favorite part of visiting there was getting to sit in the gallery of mission control, which looks much bigger on film but the Saturn V is very large in person.

A very nice German rocket.  Same guy built the V-2.

True - they fly better than they sing, IMHO

I have been many times to Kennedy SC ,never got tired of seeing this
magnificent machines from Mercury, Gemini and Apollo
Been at  the foot of 39A was almost surreal
