Space Museum in White Sands































While visiting President Morgan in Las Cruses, New Mexico we went to the National Space Museum there. They have some of the early missles, engines and information on the first capsules that went into space. It was here that "Little Joe and Ham, the first chimpanzees went into space to test the effect of rapid descent on people. They have lots of pictures of the monkey and he is actually burried there at the site. It was very interesting. I was amazed at how many people have helped with space exploration.
