Space Buff's Bucket List. Many of us have been space buffs since 1959, when NASA [the National Aeronautics and Space Administration] introduced the Mercury Seven astronauts to the world. These were the first Americans chosen to fly into space.

I’ll never forget my first rocket launch. It was truly awe-inspiring to watch a manmade object defy gravity – one of the insurmountable facts of physics. Seeing the rocket lift ever so slowly from the launchpad, hearing and feeling the deep rumble of the engines, and knowing that weare capable of so much as a species when we use ingenuity and creat...
The only rocket launch I’ve seen was an uncrewed flight, the Orion EFT-1 launch in late 2014. I can only imagine that all of the emotions are much more heightened when you know there are fellow humans aboard a rocket that’s about to take off. While I’ve watched many crewed launches on livestreams (thanks, SpaceX!), it’s still on my space tourism bu...
Historically, watching a landing wasn’t a thing – and watching a splashdown was very uncommon since only the various world governments launched to space. But thanks to SpaceX and the increasing development of the commercial space industry, we now have much greater access to watch both launches and landings (on Earth or in the water). It’s a great s...
The next section of this space tourism bucket list is definitely focused on the space accomplishments of the United States, with the exception of #8. This is in part because it’s easier to travel to the U.S. compared with Russia or China – the two other major players on the global space stage. It’s also because our space exploration history has bee...
Similarly, the Gemini program capsules gives you an appreciation for how tough life in space was for the earliest astronauts – they somehow fit twoguys into these capsules! If you want to see a Gemini capsule, they’re on display too: 1. Gemini 3 is at the Grissom Memorial Museum in Mitchell, IN 2. Both Gemini 4 and Gemini 7 capsules are at the Nati...
The third phase of American space exploration was the well-known Apollo program. Seeing these command modules is fascinating; they are among objects that have been the furthest from and returned to earth. You can’t see any of the moon landersbut these command modules helped make the moon landings possible and are definitely worth putting on your sp...
As they were originally envisioned, the Space Shuttle program would have been a pinnacle of technological success in the 20th century. They were intended to provide affordable and reusable access to space. Unfortunately, as with many government space programs across history and the globe, the costs and timelines were vastly underestimated and the S...
If you’re visiting a space shuttle, why not go inside too! While not all of the shuttles are open to visit, the Independencein Houston is open to explore and has several exhibits within different parts of the shuttle. As I said, Space Center Houston is definitely a must-visit museum for space tourists!
The Buran is the Russian equivalent to the American Space Shuttle program; it’s much harder to see a Buran shuttle than a U.S. space shuttle because of their location and limited access. In fact, there is no museum where the Buran are on display; they are technically at the “Baikonur Cosmodrome Museum”. But the building that houses the Buran remnan...
Moving into the modern era, the next type of spacecraft that’s a must-see is the Orion capsule. I was lucky to see an Orion in progress at Michoud, NASA’s rocket factory (next on this list) – and I’ve seen a few mock-ups at other NASA facilities over the years (#12). While the tenure of the Constellation/Orion/Space Launch System program may not be...
