Right next to the Hampton public piers is the Langley Air and Space museum. Becca had to remind us that Hampton is where NASA started and the Hidden Figures ladies were from that area.
It’s a little smaller than other Air & Space museums, but still was nice to walk around and see the exhibits. They were pretty heavy on video simulators, and the crowds were pretty light, so we tried our hand at several different ones including the Mars rover, a moon lander, and a flight simulator.
The highlight was probably an Apollo capsule that still bore the burn marks from the heat of re-entry. Still amazing at the small size of the early spacecraft. Definitely not for the claustrophobic.
