The San Diego Air & Space Museum is hosting an all-new Ripley's Believe It or Not! exhibit that includes a couple of space history displays.
Full-Scale Mars Perseverance Rover & Ingenuity Helicopter (Matchstick Sculpture)

This incredible display recreates NASA's Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter using thousands of carefully placed matchsticks. Every detail — from the rover's wheels to the helicopter's delicate blades — demonstrates extraordinary craftsmanship and patience. It's a stunning fusion of space exploration and art that showcases creativity at its finest.

Canine Cosmonaut Space Suit

This rare space suit honors the Soviet space dogs who helped pave the way for human spaceflight. Designed to protect its four-legged astronaut, the suit features specialized fittings for mobility and life-support systems. It serves as a powerful tribute to the animal pioneers of space exploration.
