Today
was still windy. We could see the sand storms over at White Sands. The funny
part was that we went to see Fantastic Beasts. In it there is a beast that is a
dark amorphous wind. When we stepped outside the cinema, the skies were dark
and swirling with high winds. Scary!
The
Museum of Space History is in town. There is a lot of local history in rocketry
and space with the White Sands Missile Range nearby. We had fun crashing the
shuttle and experiencing the sound and vibrations of take-off in simulations.
Even the elevator is cool!
The
museum has a moon rock, the gravesite of Ham the 1st astrochimp, and
cans from Skylab. BTW, John worked at Central States Can when they made the EZ-Open
lids used in space.
Gene
Roddenberry was in the most recent International Space Hall of Fame class.
There is a major section on Star Trek.
