The U.S. Space &amp; Rocket Center hosted a record 626,000 visitors last year and they came from every state in the U.S. and 64 foreign nations. 61,000 of these guests were students on school trips and 26,000 attended as part of a Space Camp program. We are convinced that science centers and museums play a vital role in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. According to the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), which represents 353 U.S. science centers and museums, nearly 63 million visits are made to science centers and museums a year. Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education, visited the Center in September 2014, and his initial observation was “You can’t beat this classroom!” The USSRC’s large rocket and space hardware collection contains over 1,500 items and is valued in the tens of millions of dollars. From America’s first satellite, Explorer I, to next-generation space vehicles like Sierra Nevada’s Dream Chaser, the museum showcases the past, present, and future of human spaceflight.
