Since 1981, The Outpost Tavern in Webster, Texas, just down NASA Road One from the Johnson Space Center, has been a favorite hangout for astronauts, rocket scientists, space geeks, remodeling contractors, plumbers, well, you get the general idea. It is the kind of place where everyone just feels comfortable.

It is also a capsule of the history of the American Space Program – with walls filled to near overflowing with autographed photographs of astronauts and other luminaries (and some not so luminaries) as well as other space-related neat stuff. There’s even a tailhook off an unfortunate A6 (let’s just say the tailhook was not removed by a ground crew).

And it’s been in three movies so far, including the recently released “Space Cowboys” directed by Clint Eastwood (click here to see a few pictures from the bar scene shot at The Outpost). The other two movies are: "RocketMan" and "Challenger", a made for ABC-TV movie starring Karen Allen and Barry Bostwick.
