The Hall of Fame is pictures along all the inside walls of the Space Museum. From Copernicus to Gothard to Von Braun to the modern day astronauts/cosmonauts. Photo and information is given; this brought back memories of the Mercury 7, Gemini and Apollo, and of course the Suttle crews.

If you like Space travel - this is for you. The IMAX theatre is well worth the small charge. Sits on the mountainside in Alamogordo. Fantastic day trip.

This is the inside part of the New Mexico Museum of Space History. There are interactive displays, like a prototype space station mixed with the photos of the folks that was there in the beginning.
