UTC Challenger Center - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The Challenger Center at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is one of several centers worldwide offering students simulated space missions (which teach science, math and teamwork in a fun and relevant manner) in honor of the ill-fated Challenger shuttle. But this one has the benefit of being supported by the widow of Challenger astronaut Dick Scobee. A local resident, she has loaned some of her late husband's effects for exhibit.

If you go:
This is an educational facility and not really a tourist attraction, but it is receptive to visitors. And any group of at least 10 may participate in one of the missions by registering in advance.
