From the current space shuttle flight, all the way back to the first Mercury and Gemini space flights, it is possible to hear audio and see videos of the history of the manned space flight. From there, let's take a trip to the Goddard Space Flight Center . There are some beautiful pictures from the Hubbell Telescope. After looking at them, even on a computer monitor, you will have to admit that there is a unique beauty in outer space, and the cost of the telescope was worth it. Truly an out of this world experience.
Museums are fun to explore, spending hours looking at all kinds of exhibits.
They can get boring, however, so let's see what other sites this town has to offer. Earlier in this article I mentioned President Kennedy and his enthusiasm for the space program. Another program in which he took deep interest was the Peace Corps . This site has anything and everything that you would want to know about this organization, from how to join, the educational programs that are available, to President Kennedy's inaugural address. Ever since then, it has become a ritual that when I am traveling out of town, my wife hunts for the nearest Hard Rock and gives me a shopping list.
