Johnson Space Center rocket park named for former director George Abbey [i]George Abbey now has more than a herd of longhorns to his name at the entrance to NASA's Johnson Space Center. Driving by the Houston home to NASA's human spaceflight program, past the 35-acre pasture established by Abbey for Texas Longhorn cattle to graze, visitors now come across a sign dedicating Johnson's Rocket Park to the Apollo-era engineer and former center director. The George W.S. Abbey Rocket Park displays one of only three remaining Saturn V rockets that was used to launch the first astronauts to the moon more than 50 years ago.[/i]
