New Mexico International Space Museum

A museum display

Through the glass. A description of the first explosion of an atomic bomb in New Mexico. The missile range is nearby. Sometimes White Sands National Monument is closed till 10:00am if the planes are flying overhead. They're not regular jets either - look like B2 bomber types in the triangular shape. One morning we thought there was an earthquake (we're from California). We were sure it was. But no, it was something they were doing on the missile range in the early morning.
