Those HN'ers in the SF Bay area may want to visit the USS Hornet (CVS-12), the aircraft carrier that recovered Apollo 11 and 12. In the hangar bay, they have an isolation unit used to hold the astronauts (basically just a modified Airstream trailer).

This page has a photo of the command module being hoisted aboard the carrier: http://www.uss-hornet.org/history/apollo/
