Rocket Collection

This incredible collection of rockets were curated and hand crafted by the late Keith J. Scala, a.k.a. Rocket Man. A Bridgeport native, Keith had a lifelong passion for the history of spaceflight. Keith's model collection was generously donated to Discovery for all to enjoy.

Due to the size of the collection, Discovery will be rotating the selection of rockets on view.
