Meteor Crater, Arizona.
Apollo Test Capsule. Just off of Route 66 is an actual crater caused by a meteor many years ago. The crater is so large that when looking to the bottom one can only see two specs of white. One of the specs is a lunar capsule much like this test capsule, the other is a moon buggy. NASA had used this crater for moon-landing practice in order to simulate the craters found on the moon. It is now used only as a tourist attraction.
