Far-Future NSBE-HSC Program

Black Space Museum

(Or possibly Black Aerospace Museum – I prefer space, but may need to add aviation)

Presumably would be operated by a spin-off nonprofit organization devoted solely to the museum.

Possible locations:

· Ellington Airfield

· Clear Lake (near JSC)

· Hobby Airport

Note: May become future permanent site of Black Space Expo

Space Exhibits

· African American Astronauts

o Special Anderson, McNair and Lawrence exhibits

o Special exhibit anytime a Black astronaut is currently flying

o Special exhibit for any Black Ascans

o Permanent exhibit on all African American astronauts

· Black scientists and engineers

· Space hardware – flight hardware, test articles, and replicas

· “Hands on Science” sections

· African and other non-American Black space history

· Education Center

Aviation Exhibits (if make Aerospace museum)

· Tuskegee Airmen

o Mannequins/bios

o Aircraft

o WWII footage

· Other Black aviation pioneers

· Selected recent/current aviators (military, test pilot, experimental aircraft)

Miscellaneous

Classroom space (1-3 rooms)

Café (performing stage – can use nights as music venue)
