Ty's Take

The Space Hall of Fame story reminds you why this town exists at all, and not just because of the base or the missile range. Somebody had the vision, decades back, to say we're going to tell the story of what human beings reached for, and we're going to do it here, where the desert sky opens up and you can still feel the weight of that first atomic flash. Building something like that, keeping it going, takes the kind of stubborn belief in tomorrow that doesn't come easy in a place like this. Meanwhile, somebody else made a choice on the wrong night that'll cost him years he won't get back. Two men, same town, same week, moving in opposite directions.
