New Mexico is a key area when it comes to space exploration, and the New Mexico Museum of Space History teaches visitors why. The museum contains historical pieces such as a moon rock, space suits, and the Rocket Sled used to go 632 miles per hour.
The museum is also home to the Space Hall of Fame where patrons can read about the most important people who have helped us learn about the vast unknown. Visitors can sit back and learn about space through images, stars, and lasers projected on the giant dome ceiling of the planetarium. The Museum offers special events as well as a "Space Camp" for children interested in space exploration and technology.
