— An early artifact of America’s moonshot program is now on display in Mississippi. Infinity Science Center is displaying the command module from Apollo 4, an unmanned 1967 mission that successfully demonstrated the full Saturn V rocket and the capsule that would carry men to the moon. The command module is on long-term loan from the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air & Space Museum. The Saturn V rocket was among those tested at neighbouring Stennis Space Center. Spokeswoman Mary Douglas says the 8,000-pound (3,600-kilogram) module was stored for five years at Stennis out of public view.
