13 Incredible Space Museums in the U.S. Every Traveler Should Visit

"Located within Seattle's Museum of Flight, the showstopper here is the NASA Full Fuselage Trainer—a full-size trainer mock-up once used to prepare every shuttle astronaut for the rigors of space travel. Visitors can walk around the trainer and explore exhibits that cover the history of shuttle-era spaceflight. A separate Space Shuttle Trainer Crew Compartment Experience allows small groups inside the trainer's flight deck and mid-deck for a deep dive into astronaut life." - Iona Brannon Iona Brannon Iona Brannon is a journalist with a love for food and travel.
