This inspiring new exhibit will feature personal reflections, memorabilia and artifacts from astronauts with Colorado ties. You may not know that 20 percent of all U.S. astronauts have significant ties to the great state of Colorado! Most have birthplace, hometown or alma mater affiliations with Colorado and a few more have other well-known ties to our state.

Visit 'Colorado's Astronauts: In Their Own Words' and learn what inspired these people to become astronauts in the first place, how they prepared for their missions, what their most memorable moments were, how Colorado influenced their careers and what space may hold for all of us in the future.
