Demise of T&T. Sprint of 1966 and the T&T Pavilion is one of the few pavilions still standing on the Flushing Meadows site. Like other multi-exhibitor pavilions, such as the Better Living Center and the Pavilion of American Interiors, the T&T Pavilion was bankrupt and the World's Fair Corporation would have to foot the bill for its demolition.

By June of 1967 the T&T site is a vacant lot.

"Silhouetted against the lunar horizon, men get a closeup look at the surface of the moon under a warm sun. Befoe long, they will know the mountains and craters of our nearest celestial neighbor as well as any World's Fair exhibit they have demolished. After all, they're tearing down the Transportation and Travel Pavilion, where moon model, one of the last to go, has stood for two years." A sub caption reads, "One of the last of the World's Fair exhibits presents a queer picture as workmen start to demolish the building known to Fairgoers as 'To the Moon and Beyond.'" The photo is dated June 22, 1966.
