The New York World's Fair opens. Included is an exhibit in the "Time and Space" building which purports to show the view from a spacecraft. Ports of call include Venus, the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Saturn, the Milky Way, Horse Head nebula, and the Andromeda galaxy. Travellers voyage nine trillion trillion miles at 33 trillion trillion miles per hour for a fare of 25 cents. Aviation chronometers and watches are displayed in the lobby and the American Rocket Society provide a small exhibit.
