What We're Reading: The Road to Roswell
Award-winning author Connie Willis takes readers on a wild ride in her novel "The Road to Roswell," blending humor, sci-fi, and mystery into a thrilling adventure. CONNIE WILLIS’S NOVEL The Road to Roswell (Del Rey) is paved with crackling dialogue, New Mexico–specific humor, aliens, men in black, UFOs, and some out-of-this-world adventures. Willis, a winner of seven Nebula and 11 Hugo awards for her speculative fiction, tells the story of Francie, who arrives at Albuquerque Sunport reluctantly bound for Roswell and her college roommate’s UFO-themed wedding. Francie is slightly amused but mostly annoyed by all the talk of alien abductions—and then is flabbergasted to find herself at the center of one, while wearing a neon-green bridesmaid’s dress, no less. While Francie gets to know her otherworldly kidnapper, she digs deeper into the fascinating mysteries of the Southwest.
How Roswell Got a Moon Rock
Learn about Robert H. Goddard, the father of modern rocket propulsion, and how his legacy is being preserved at the Roswell Museum. A SMALL HUNK OF ROCK from the moon’s Taurus–Littrow Valley sits on display at the Roswell Museum as a tribute to Robert H. Goddard’s early work in rocket propulsion. A New England native, Goddard launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket from an Auburn, Massachusetts, farm on March 16, 1926. The 2.5-second flight blasted 41 feet into the air before landing in a nearby cabbage field. After relocating to Roswell in 1930, Goddard and a team of researchers continued experiments that ultimately led to 214 patents. “He and his wife, Esther, were very much a part of the Roswell community,” says Roswell Museum executive director Caroline Brooks. Although Goddard died in 1945 before his work was truly realized, Esther labored to ensure his legacy. She cut the ribbon at the Roswell Museum ceremony commemorating the 49th anniversary of that first launch, and Apollo 17 astronaut and geologist Harrison Schmitt presented one of the moon rocks he brought home to the governor and museum. Esther also helped establish the museum’s Goddard exhibition, where the moon rock resides alongside a piece of the New Mexico flag that was aboard the Apollo 17 capsule.

At first glance, the plush toy seemed otherworldly, but it depicts an amphibian, an axolotl.
My wife and I just recently returned from a week-long vacation sojourn to the U.S. Rocky Mountain West. One memorable part of that trip was a visit to the fabled crash landing site of an alien spaceship, replete with lots of unconscious green Martians being carted away on military stretchers. Of course, it was all in good fun. Thanks for the laugh, Roswell, New Mexico.
