Come see the Cosmosphere

On behalf of KCAR and KOSMO, I want to invite everyone to come to Hutchinson, Kansas for NARCON 2012 on April 13th, 14th, and 15th. If you want to know what's so special about Hutchinson, Kansas for rocket nuts, all I need to say is the Cosmosphere. We have secured rights to get all participants into the Cosmosphere free of charge. Tickets usually run $10 a head.

Now what's so amazing about this place? Its an extension of the Smithsonian, and outside of Washington, it's the only museum to house capsules from 3 major space programs that have actually been in space: The Liberty Bell 7, Gemini X, and from Apollo 13 fame, the Odyssey command module. They also have an SR-71 Blackbird and one of the few remaining original V2s in the world, along with a Vostok from Russia. In fact, they have the largest Russian space related artifact collection outside of Moscow.

We are also working on getting permission to go see their "Space Works", a private tour of their back lot, things they haven't or won't put out on display, including a Thor-Aegina and a Lunar Lander. We will be having a website up very soon, but in the meantime, if you'd like to see more about the Cosmosphere please check out this link: http://www.cosmo.org/
