"The Sixth Floor" Museum, located in downtown Dallas, was built to commemorate the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 21, 1963. The museum is named "The Sixth Floor" because the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, one of which struck Kennedy in the back, taking his precious life. At the time, Kennedy was in an open-top car campaigning for reelection with his wife, Jacqueline. As a Democratic president from Massachusetts, he was not well-received in Dallas, a Republican stronghold in Texas. Despite local newspapers openly questioning Kennedy's domestic and foreign policies, no one anticipated such a hostile act. After being shot, Kennedy was rushed to nearby Parkland Hospital, where doctors tried their best to save him, but his life slipped away. Fate seemed ironic as these doctors, who had tried desperately to save Kennedy's life, later had to attempt to save the life of Kennedy's assassin, Oswald, at the same location (Oswald was shot in public while being transferred to a court, which was nationally televised at that time).

The Houston Space Center and the NASA Johnson Space Center, though separate locations, are closely connected. The Johnson Space Center is America's largest space research, production, and control center, where all space rockets and shuttles are launched from Florida, but all control is done here. The 1969 moon landing mission was also controlled here, so the first word spoken by humans on the moon was "Houston," and now whenever there is a problem, people joke, "Houston, we have a problem."
When visiting the Space Center, visitors can take a small train to the Space Center (including the Rocket Park) for a tour, but this route is crowded and requires a long wait, so it is recommended to arrive early. In addition, Space Center staff will take a souvenir photo of each visitor, but requires a high fee of about $10 per photo. If you do not want to spend money, you can choose to forgo the photo or take one yourself.
