                of an Apollo Command and Service Module in the the new
                Apollo/Saturn V Center (ASVC) at KSC prior to the gala grand

                event, which also featured NASA Administrator Dan Goldin and KSC
                Director Jay Honeycutt. The ASVC also features several other
                Apollo program spacecraft components, multimedia presentations
                and a simulated Apollo/Saturn V liftoff. The facility will be a
                part of the KSC bus tour that embarks from the KSC Visitor
                Center.
