President John F. Kennedy climbs the stairs to view a mock-up of an Apollo command module, during a tour of spacecraft displays inside a hangar at the Rich Building of the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas. Director of the Manned Spacecraft Center, Dr. Robert Gilruth, follows behind President Kennedy; Director of Manned Space Flight, D. Brainerd Holmes, stands at bottom of stairs. The President visited the Center as part of a two-day inspection tour of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) field installations.
