CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT SPACE CRAFTSMEN LIVING IN HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, have touched all our lives. They work in a space junkyard called SpaceWorks- with a mean junkyard dog next door-part of the Cosmosphere, a museum a mile away that matches the quality of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. When Soviet war planners looking at spy satellite photos spotted rockets outside the modest complex in the 1980s, they assigned a nuclear missile to it, thinking it was a rocket factory. It was, and is, but the rockets either flew long ago or are replicas of the real thing. 66 | AOPA PILOT January 2018
