Exploration from the moon to mars. Valerie neal i am valerie neal. We are in the milestones of flight hall at the center of the museum. This is the hall where we display the pioneering aircraft and spacecraft that transformed the modern world. When this Museum Opened in july of 1976, almost every space artifact on display had recently been in the news.

Three men at a time, one group was there for one month. Another group for two months, and the third group for three months.

And, almost every body who was alive at that moment remember where they were. Whether they were watching it on television or their own house or if they were standing
