One small museum for man, one giant experience for space lovers
American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame的点评
点评:I had an absolutely INCREDIBLE trip to the space museum! Typically, I go to KSC when I'm in Titusville, but I've seen this museum pop up several times on maps and it had so many positive ratings I decided to try it out. You can explore the entire thing on your own OR ask one of the lovely employees to walk you around. I didn't catch his name, but I had a nice gentleman take me through the exhibits from the Apollo era all the way to the shuttle era and he told me personal stories about the astronauts and their missions. He was soooo passionate about the history of the programs and all of the people involved.
The exhibits feature a large array of artifacts that were flown in space OR used as promotional items at the time of the flights (and the employees are well versed on the history of every item). My personal favorite exhibit was the Women In Space room. They have images of every woman sent into space from the first Russian Cosmonauts to current astronauts (they even have markers telling you which women are currently in space!!). While I was reading the fact sheets for each astronaut, a lovely woman came to ask how I was enjoying the exhibit and then gave me additional facts about a handful of the astronauts on display. She also told me stories of her meeting astronauts at KSC and asking questions so she'd be better prepared to answer guest questions at the American Space Museum! She was so sweet and had so many good stories- even though I only spoke with her for 30 minutes it made my trip so much better!
Their gift shop is small, but has a good selection of items! They even have several shelves of used books. When I was leaving, my tour guide ran into me again and he gave a handful of book recommendations and reasons for each!! Can't wait to come back here again!
翻译:我这次太空博物馆之旅简直太棒了!通常我去泰特斯维尔都会去肯尼迪航天中心,但这次我在地图上好几次看到这家博物馆,而且评价都非常好,所以就决定去看看。你可以自己参观,也可以请一位友好的工作人员带你游览。我没记住他的名字,但一位和蔼的先生带我参观了从阿波罗时代到航天飞机时代的展品,还给我讲了很多关于宇航员和他们任务的故事。他对这些项目的历史以及所有参与其中的人员都充满了热情。
展品包括大量曾被送入太空的物品,以及当时用作宣传品的物品(工作人员对每件展品的历史都非常了解)。我最喜欢的展厅是“女性太空人”展厅。展厅里陈列着从第一批俄罗斯宇航员到现役宇航员的每一位女性的照片(甚至还有标牌告诉你哪些女性目前正在太空!)。我正在阅读每位宇航员的资料时,一位和蔼的女士过来询问我对展览的感受,并向我介绍了几位展出宇航员的更多资料。她还跟我分享了她在肯尼迪航天中心与宇航员见面并提问的经历,以便更好地回答美国太空博物馆游客的问题!她非常热情友好,讲了很多精彩的故事——虽然我只和她聊了30分钟,但这段经历让我的参观之旅更加愉快!
他们的礼品店虽然不大,但商品种类丰富!甚至还有好几排书架摆放着二手书。离开的时候,我的导游又碰到了我,他向我推荐了几本书,并解释了每本书的推荐理由!我已经迫不及待地想再次来到这里了!
