Tour of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
This year’s conference wraps up with an optional tour of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum . Since its collection started in 1876 with a group of kites from the Chinese Imperial Commission to its recent addition of SpaceShipOne, the National Air and Space Museum chronicles the history of flight and holds the world’s largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft. Located on the National Mall, this impressive collection includes the Wright Flyer, Spirit of St. Louis, Apollo 11 command module, and a lunar rock sample.
