New Mexico Museum of Space History

On our day trip out we stopped at the New Mexico Museum of Space History in Alamogordo.  It had many amazing exhibits and this town was chosen because of the many technological advances in rocketry and missiles that were developed nearby.  White Sands Missile Range is close as is Holloman
Air Force Base that holds the stealth fighter fleet.  The first atomic bomb was exploded about fifty miles north.  The first U.S. chimp to go into space is buried here by the front sign.
