If you ever have the opportunity, visit the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. They have the actual Apollo 13 Command Module on display.

That place looks great - they appear to also have an SR-71. I wish I'd known about it last time I did the long drive through KS...

They built the lobby around the SR-71. It's friggin' cool.
