National Air and Space Museum Visit

My visit to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. was one that I certainly enjoyed. I want to primarily focus on the space exhibit, as I feel there is a lot that can be discussed on the topic of space and culture. There was a lot of different things to see and experience at the museum; simulations, models, and even videos about some of the most historical moments about space, like Apollo Eleven and the shuttle Discover. I feel that the topic of space has grown more popular over the years, and will likely become much more popular in quite possibly a short amount of time.

There has been a lot of talk recently about Mars and the possibilities it has. There are many people who are excited to here more news about Mars, because there may be a time when we are finally able to colonize the planet, and create another home for the human race. We may not be at the state where we can make Mars livable yet, but years into the future the day will come with enough study and interest going into the planet, and I know the talk about Mars has certainly been growing with all that we have learned about it.

The exhibits were very well detailed, and even had some nostalgic value for me, as the little by who once dreamed of going into space. There were some immersive environments in the museum, and even a section where you could test your knowledge about space through trivia. The topic of space does have a large crowd of people interested in it, and with groups like NASA at work to expand human interaction with space, there will be more to humanity than just the planet Earth.
