The Space Race is Back On!
… and our money is on Spaceport America!
This gateway to Space is located just outside Truth or Consequences, NM, only 2.5 hours from Smugglers’ Roost.
Dream of earning your astronaut wings just like a billionaire?
With the dead-dark night skies here at Smugglers’ Roost, you don’t have to pay big money to fly above the planet for that view… you can experience it right here, looking through the window of our own space ship – Earth!
The Smugglers’ Team has enjoyed the region’s night skies for decades, along with the top amateur astronomers from around the world. However, with the recent and ongoing launch of Elon Musk’s Starlink communication network, and it’s 12,000 satellites blanketing low-Earth orbit, unhampered astrophotography may unfortunately never be the same…
Explore the Night Sky with our Onsite Astronomer!
The good news is, with its onsite telescope and astronomer, Smugglers’ Roost offers beginner, intermediate and advanced observing programs which will renew the interest in experiencing the Universe in real time.
With our astral community, we will continue to expand our fleet of on-site large and small aperture telescopes, as well as promoting beginner and advanced educational programming. Programs which will include expanding our knowledge of UFO-phenomenon; an integral part of New Mexico’s folklore and scientific history. The recent Pentagon report to Congress has only accelerated international interest in discovering reasonable explanations of unexplained sightings which have been prevalent in New Mexico for nearly 80 years.
Come and join us in our exploration of the Universe, explained and unexplained!
