Hampton and Beyond
Your room at a modern hotel in the city of Hampton www.hotelshampton.com Virgina, is the only the beginning to a wonderful adventure of all things that fly in the sky and beyond. Located in Hampton are some major research and command centers that have been a major part of the process from a small airplane flying over town to a massive space shuttle flying past the moon. You can start at he Virginia Air and Space Center. It is the visitor center for the NASA Langley Research Center as well as the Langley Air Force Base. This center offers an extensive display of air and space crafts as well as many ways to interact using multi media and gaming technology.
You can get a glimpse of what the men and women of these incredible programs had experienced. You can launch a rocket and get your chance to pilot a space shuttle. You will have the opportunity to see the Apollo 12 Command Module. This module was launched to the moon in November of 1969 and circled the moon 31 times in sixty one and a half hours. You can learn more about the jets we fly everyday across the country and the world. They have a DC-9 opened up and ready for you to get a closer look than you would get by being a passenger in a tiny seat without a movie. Speaking of movies, there is a 3D IMAX movie theatre and if they don’t have the latest blockbuster hit playing they more than likely have a great movie about flight and space flight. This is the most amazing place to visit. It is a little harder to get tours of the Langley Research Center or the Langley Air Force Base but they have brought all their history to you with this incredible museum.
