A highlight are the two tram tours of NASA's Johnson Space Center, one of which includes a visit to Mission Control and actual Apollo and Mercury launch vehicles, the other focuses on astronaut training facilities.

  Known as the "Church of the Astronauts" during the 1960s, when astronauts John Glenn, Buzz Aldrin, Jerry Carr, Charlie Bassett, and Roger Chaffee were active members during their service with NASA. During Apollo 11, after having performed the first crewed landing on the Moon, ruling elder Buzz Aldrin privately celebrated Communion from the lunar lander. WPC still has the chalice that was used on the Moon, and celebrates Lunar Communion Sunday every year on the Sunday closest to July 20.
