I’d love to but no way I fly east under TSA BSand it’s now too far for me to drive. But I wish I could.

I have been to March, Edwards, Davis and Holloman museums and the Holloman/Almogordo New Mexico museum has some VERY cool toys. The rocket sleds are a trip. The Atlas rocket motor is pretty small too...NOT!

I love me some aircraft/space junk!

Oh and the UFO museum at Roswell ;)

We used to have a space museum at the community college in Jackson Michigan because a couple of the early astronauts were from the area. (McDivitt and White) they had a cooked Gemini Capsule inside, a couple of rocket engines, moon rocks, and a full sized mockup of a rocket.

I believe that stuff all went into storage or to other museums.

Ah were wrong. Apparently the stuff from Jackson is now in Kalamazoo MI. and it wasn’t a Gemini capsule it was the Apollo 9 capsule.
