Home to arrows, atoms, and Indian, Spanish and Anglo cultures New Mexico is home to a very distinticive past like no other state in America.

Two important aspects of New Mexico's economy are scientific research such as the nuclear energy research carried out at Sandia National Laboratories and mining of natural resources such as oil, natural gas, uranium, potash, copper, coal, zinc, gold and silver. After WWII Los Alamos and Albuquerque had many new laboratories. Hundreds of highly educated Scientists and Engineers moved in the state. New Mexico soon had a higher percentage of people with Ph.D.s than any other state. 1 out of 4 workers in New Mexico work directly for the Federal Government. State and local governments are also major employers. The father of modern rocketry Massachusetts scientist Robert Goddard whom some called a crackpot, came to New Mexico in 1930 to test rocket-ship models. Because of this the aerospace industry became one of New Mexico's leading industries.
The state of New Mexico offers a vast of beauty for the specter to capture. From forest, desert and rivers there is plenty of beauty to take in. 1/4 of New Mexico is forested, and the state has 7 National Forests including the Nation's largest, the 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest which includes the Gila Wilderness. Lakes and Rivers make up only .002% of the state's total surface area. The lowest water-to-land ratio of all 50 states. Most of New Mexico's lakes are man-made reservoirs. A dam on the Rio Grande formed the Elephant Butte Reservoir the state's largest lake. The Rio Grande is New Mexico's longest river and runs the entire length of New Mexico.
It is interesting to point out the one of New Mexico’s most visited monuments, White Sands National Monument is a desert, not of sand, but of gleaming white gypsum crystals. This beauty is just one reason why having the perfect auto loan is important in traveling along New Mexico.
And don’t forget to stop in and visit one of New Mexico’s most famous cities, Roswell. Home to aliens? Roswell the states 4th largest city was founded in 1869 when a professional gambler established a lone store on the cattle trail. And although much converser surrounds whether or not aliens really landed in Roswell, the city offers a great place to tour.
With much of the history of New Mexico surrounding the space industry it isn’t’ any surprise that space museums are all throughout the state. In fact, Moon Rocks can be found at the International Space hall of fame that is located in Alamogordo
