Pittsburgh-based space museum and learning center counts down to October opening
Pittsburgh City Paper: Texas has NASA. Washington, D.C. has the National Air and Space Museum. Florida has the Kennedy Space Center. And soon, Pittsburgh will have its own tribute to space travel with the opening of the Moonshot Museum.

I love to see a space museum opening in Pittsburgh! As someone who grew up right next to a local space museum and went to the DC space museum all the time I think they're the coolest things out there. Space fosters a sense of hope and space travel has been such an important part of pop culture and history within this country. I think every city should be promoting space as space travel isn't something that is greatly funded anymore. As much as we should focus on fixing the planet and ensuring Earth is in a great state, we are so so tiny within this universe and haven't even explored .01% of it, we have no clue what resources we can find that can help us and what new discoveries we can make. Pittsburgh also has such big schools focusing on engineering and science that any sort of way to foster space love within those groups or even just providing another source for those students to go interact with that materials is also a win in my book. Plus space museums are also just cool, they have great rides and fun activities that kids can just interact and have fun. I'm definitely exited to go visit the museum.
I'm very excited for this. As someone that is a chronic space romanticizer, I can't wait to go! It's a shame that space travel as our next step seems to have taken a bit of a back seat. I feel like I have been hearing "Mars landing in next ten years" for my entire life. I think if we make science accessibly to people at as young of an age as possible through means like space centers and museums we will be that much more likely to have a workforce trained and ready to fill the roles needed to support space ventures as we start to set our sights on space once again. It's a shame we aren't funding NASA as well as we should be. We shouldn't be letting private industries make so many strides for space, I'd really like to see public funded manned missions to space, it really is time.
