IN 2019 AT THE SAN DI EGO AI R & SPACE MUSEUM
As part of this year-long celebration
of the Apollo program, the San
Diego Air & Space Museum recently
opened a new special exhibition titled
“SPACE: Our Greatest Adventure”
exploring the past, present and future
of mankind’s exploration of space.
The exhibit is organized into four
distinct zones, including; Welcome
to the Space Age, the Race to the
Moon, Life in Space today, and Our
Future in Space. Each zone includes
hand’s-on learning experiences,
family friendly photo stations,
simulators and interactives, and
informative videos and smart touch
screens.
The exhibit is designed to be
informative, educational and
enjoyable for the entire family. Also
included in the space gallery is the
actual Apollo 9 Command Module
“Gumdrop,” one of only eleven Apollo
Command Modules on display in
the world and the only one on the
West Coast. Replicas of Mercury and
Gemini space capsules, a complete
Apollo Command Service Module,
and a Mars rover on loan from
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
round out the one-of-a-kind exhibit.
For more information about the
space gallery, and updates on
upcoming Apollo celebrations at the
