The New Jersey Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum proudly announces the opening of its brand new International Space Station (ISS) exhibit. It contains a large model of the ISS, actual flown items from New Jersey-born astronaut Mark Kelly, continuous videos showing life on the station and a count up clock showing the exact time that Mark's twin brother Scott Kelly has been on the space station.

Hopefully the members in the New York/New Jersey area will come check it out.

Just had a chance to visit this museum yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised by the number of space items there. Greg Linteris has his own display case away from the other NJ astronauts, and there's a signed X-15 cover (by Joe Engle, among other pilots), a scale model of the Mars Observer spacecraft, and a Pepsi can marked "for astronaut use." One wall is intriguingly marked "Coming soon: Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin exhibit."

It's smaller than the Cradle of Aviation Museum but well worth the time to visit.
