Mrs 40 and I spent hours there. Look past the hokum, and there is a lot of very interesting things on display there.

The day we were there a wild hail storm rolled in leaving us stranded inside just as they closed. A friendly employee I got to talking to locked the doors and gave us about an hour of his own time while walking us through and showing us things and giving us his own insight while we waited for the storm to clear. It was really nice of him.

I went to visit my kid when she was stationed at Holloman AFB. We took the day and headed to Roswell. It’s amazing how much history is in that building. Legit history.

Wanted to do the Trinity site but it wasn’t open. Only open like a week a year or so. Alamogordo has a great space museum too. The Rocket sled is awesome. And one of those Saturn V rocket motors in person is something to behold.

Actually now that I think about it, that Alamogordo museum reminds me a lot of a Fallout (video game) Vault with all the early tech and the way it’s laid out inside. A must see if you ever go back.
