Aerospace
In a tent-like structure, the aerospace industry throws light on environmental effects resulting from man's pursuit of technology. It also develops the role of industry in exploration and communications and the effects of the aerospace industry on man's changing society.
Among the exhibits are a CF-104 build by Canadair; a De Havilland Turbo-Prop Beaver; and a display built by NASA, in which, through the use of audiovisuals, the visitor has the impression of experiencing an Apollo space flight. Space medicine is the object of another presentation.
