Byline: Darcy Gray

Jan. 12--Sometimes the halls of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson are quiet. Like other institutions during the country's economic downturn, the local space museum has its own set of financial worries. But Cosmosphere staff members have not stood idly by.

The museum's small staff has been instrumental in helping jump-start other museums across the country that have sought to develop their own space centers. From Oklahoma City to Sheboygan, Wis., to Mitchell, Ind., Cosmosphere employees have helped design and construct everything from complete space exhibits to the display cases that hold space artifacts.
