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.

We visited Alamogordo and the Goddard Space Flight Center. If my memory serves me that is where the sled was. Very interesting stuff. Not many places can you see this overhead.
