Thanks to our educator Yeric Valentino, we are now happy to offer our virtual exhibit Alan Shepard: First American in Space and Shipwright in Spanish. Click here to see the English version. English version by Sarah Nappo, posted on April 9, 2020.

The combined photos, letters, and first hand accounts help piece together an importance puzzle. Alan Shepard’s rowboat survives as a unique piece of history in the life of America’s first astronaut and will be treasured by the Discovery Center for years to come!
