IDEAS THAT DEFY
BOUNDARIES PRECONCEPTIONS
Charles Lindbergh’s historic trans-Atlantic
journey in the Spirit of St. Louis extended the
limits of air travel to an intercontinental scale. Weighing more than 80 tons, Space Shuttle
Discovery is one of the largest objects to leave
Earth’s atmosphere—and return.
IMAGINATION
With two locations and thousands of artifacts on
display, you can see the creativity and ingenuity
that has transported us from lighter-than-air to
supersonic flight. What will inspire you?
