INFINITY Science Hopes To Tickle Your Curiosity

Whenever you are visiting Mississippi this summer, one place you can check out is the INFINITY Science Center on the coast.

"INFINITY is a place where you can come and sort of unleash your curiosity. It’s a place where you can explore this planet and how it works and all the processes that enable life on it. And it’s also a place where you can think about going beyond this planet and going out into space," said John Wilson, the director of the center in Hancock County.

The INFINITY Science Center is the officials NASA Visitor’s Center for the Stennis Space Center. One of the most impressive things there is the first stage of an actual Saturn V rocket, which was the launch vehicle that lifted the Apollo missions off the Earth. There is also a full-scale model of the Lunar Lander.

There’s a lot of space devoted to Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise, who is from Biloxi.

"We have his actual flight suit on display. My brother and I were actually outside doing chores my dad had us do. And I’ll never forget my brother looked up and said, ‘Just think. There’s a guy from Biloxi up there right now,'" said Wilson.
