Check out Hubble space suits, and lunar modules while learning all about NASA and the United States’ space program.

Brenda was amazing! She made the museum come to life with her stories. Despite there being construction, she took us from the first manned flight to modern day space exploration. I would love to have Brenda as a guide again.
