Aside from the astronauts there are a wide variety of space exhibits in the museum that for the most part you can pick up and hold. The museum is kid friendly.As a serious space junkie, and as a collector of space memorabilia, I highly recommend checking out "The Space Station." For a small museum it packs a lot of punch. The event should be fun. I hope to see some cS'ers there. |

Make sure you pick up a copy of Rhea's book. It is well written and she took great care with the publishing. Very heavy paper and well put together.I wish I were closer... darn. |
