Stop at the Virginia Air and Space Center, the birthplace of America’s space program, and the official visitor center for NASA Langley Research Center. Your imagination will soar as you launch a rocket, pilot a shuttle, try on wings to feel the lift that makes things fly, and come face to face with the Apollo 12 Command Capsule that went to the moon.
