New Mexico Museum of Space History - Apollo 15 Astronaut

[LordFerret]

For those of you interested and in the area, this might be worth attending (not a free event) -

"The New Mexico Museum of Space History is pleased to announce that Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot Al Worden will be the Keynote Speaker at the Induction 2015 Gala Banquet and Ceremony on Saturday Oct. 3." - http://krwg.org/post/apollo-15-astronaut-al-worden-speak-induction-ceremony#stream/0

Cool! might be worth the 2.5 hour (pretty) drive. Only issue is that is the first weekend of the Balloon Fiesta, so there will be a crap-ton of tourists in NM.

I wouldn't mind going, but that's a long trip for me (especially driving).

I was recently there, they have a nice selection of rocket engines. They even had a Apollo fuel cell! I'm much too far away to drive there, though.

Here's the single image I took in jpg format, of a boeing X-37 NBL mock-up:

Funnily enough, that rocket in the background looks very much like the kerbal tanks that everyone makes fun of for not looking realistic.

Huh, I didn't notice!

Great pic... thanks for sharing!

If I drove there, it would take 3 or 4 days ... my lady doesn't drive, so it would all be on me.

That X-37 looks like a kiddie ride. Where do you insert the quarters?

Very good point! lol

Even funnier, the Little Joe and Little Joe II rockets were solid fuel.

The kerbal 2.5 m parts all have raised ridges for some inexplicable reason.
