New Mexico: space history
We passed Spaceport America on the way to Las Cruces; home of Virgin Galactic's two space ships. We did not go out to the terminal but it was enticing...just the beginning of several space-themed attractions in New Mexico, including the New Mexico Museum of Space History.
The museum was filled with relics from the space program: astronaut food, suits, rockets, satellites and information. So many space shuttle missions and astronauts!! And, a whole floor dedicated to the rocket scientists who made trips to the moon and back, smooth and safe. Kris and I pondered the genius of the current generation. We can only hope that our our kids will strive to exceed the designers of...social media aps???
