JSC's version of the Rocket Garden with a Mercury-Redstone rocket and a F-1 engine. The F-1 remain the largest single-chamber liquid fuel engine ever flown; five of them powered the Saturn V's first stage. I loved this article about how some engineers reverse engineered an F-1 engine and hot fired its gas generator (video).
