The NASA Frontier Development Lab toured Steve Jurvetson's (cS: Jurvetson) space artifact and meteorite collection in 2016 and filmed it in 360 degrees.

Astonishing!!! What more can be said.

It's an elite aerospace museum within other museums with so many incredible artifacts and memorabilia, most one-of-a-kind, of man's progress in space travel. I love the Viking Mars hardware pieces, Steve, and do you ever get over to the Florida Space Coast in viewing a launch here?

An incredible collection indeed!

I had seen a Flickr album of 300 or so images which revealed what seemed to be a huge collection, but this video shows that it is even larger than I had thought. So large that artifacts (including a lunar surface-flown item) are even displayed in the restrooms!

The Viking lander biology instrument (S/N 104, the third Flight-ready unit produced, i.e., the only spare), the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer, the orbiter rocket engine, and an orbiter high-gain antenna mount (not shown in this video) are amazing to me as a Viking researcher.

Incredible. The meteorites really blew me away. Thanks to all for sharing and to Mr. Jurvetson for assuming the role of curator of an amazing collection of "Relics of the Space Age."

I can consider myself well and truly entertained. Thanks Steve for sharing what must be the most impressive private collection of historic flown artefacts.

I don't believe in reincarnation but if there is any truth in it, when my time comes, I want to be reincarnated as Steve Jurvetson!
