October 1, 2019 - Golden Harvest Club of First Baptist Church Center, took a field trip to the Patricia Huffman Smith NASA Museum in Hemphill on September 30, 2019. The tour was simply incredible and if you haven’t been, you need to plan a trip.

Hemphill was the staging area for debris retrieval during the Colombia space shuttle crash. On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated during atmospheric entry, killing all seven crew members. Nearly the entire city was involved assisting.

The museum has a 15-minute orientation video shown in a professional viewing room, artifacts, educational material, and a shuttle flight simulator. Outside near the entrance is large rock with Joshua 1:6-9 inscribed.
