RUNWAYS TO ROCKETS: OUR PLACE IN AEROSPACE
Come explore The Emil Buehler Trust Gallery housing Phase I of the new exhibit, Runways to Rockets: Our Place in Aerospace, an interactive experience that gives you a better understanding of the importance of space exploration and how scientists learn about our universe. Find out how astronomers use radio waves and light to gather information about the universe, launch a space vehicle, and discover how much force it takes to escape Earth’s gravity. Local support provided by The Emil Buehler Trust and NASA.

AVIATION STATION
Fasten your seat belts and get ready to fly in the new aviation addition in our Runways to Rockets: Our place in Aerospace exhibit hall. The 4,000-square-foot addition is the second phase of the exhibit and will provide hands-on, interactive aviation experiences. Visitors will learn how airplanes fly by exploring the forces of flight. Climb into the captain's seat and pretend to fly a real DC-9 commercial airliner or transform yourself into a bird by putting on wings and stepping into a giant wind tunnel so you can see what it feels like to fly! This new addition has been made possible by a generous gift from the Emil Buehler Trust.
