The X-15 was the first plane to arrive to the space.  In 1963, Joe Walker an experimental pilot of the U.S. air Forces, managed to cross the border of the space, 100 km. But in the moment he doesn’t was an spaceman, only one more flight. But in 2005 the NASA make him an astronaut.

In 1968, the first space plane was retired. After 199 flights and 12 pilots the plane was abandoned in a huge aircraft museum.

But now a team of experts is cleaning and restoring the two planes that are still. In a few days they will take the planes, on their last trip, to a new museum where they will be able to see during the following 100 years.
