Ah, and a tourism tip for the serious engineer/nerd/machinist.
If you ever find yourself in Roswell, after enjoying the alien museum or when you get tired of the "crowds", walk a couple blocks north to the quiet little Roswell art museum. Buy a ticket and ask where the Goddard exhibition is.
I was blown away! They have what appears to be most of his actual workshop on exhibition in a recreated workshop, as well as a number of his rockets (well a lot of pieces and a couple never flown/incomplete ones). Plus, loads of the usual pictures/documents/etc you would expect of a museum. I spent at least an hour standing in that workshop looking at the different tools he was using to build his rockets. Its crazy cool, and pretty much no one knows about it because "Art museum".
