Built by Republic, Farmingdale, Long Island, New York, the Repulic JB-2 "Buzz Bomb" is an exact duplicate of Germany's V-1 rocket. This was the first U.S. guided missile. Below the JB-2 is Republic's Terrapin rocket, developed in the 1950s for high-altitude research.

Cradle of Aviation Museum - The original Grumman Apollo Lunar Module LM-13. Unfortunately, this Lunar Modular was intended for either the Apollo 18 or 19 missions, which were ultimately cancelled. A sister ship, the LM-5 "Eagle" took Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin to be the first humans to walk on another world than ours. The craft is seen wearing gold, silver and black thermal shielding.

Designed, assembled and tested between 1961 and 1972, six of the Lunar Modularts (LM) landed on the moon and three that did not go to the moon are still in existence. This one on display (LM-13) was originally to travel to the Copernicus Crater in 1973 (Apollo 19).

Each Lunar Modular was built inside a special white sterile "clean" room. This is a full-scale recreation of the Bethpage (Grumman) clean room displaying the LTA-1, the first fully functional LM built for testing minus legs, skin and appearing under contruction.
