Weird. Never been there, but would have loved to go.

I’m waiting for the US flag on Mars exhibit.

Apollo to the Moon:
The story of human exploration of the Moon by the United States.

How VERY IRONIC to be closing this gallery just as we come to the GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY of the SUCCESS of the JFK PLEDGE! Almost like the Smithsonian wants us to forget Apollo 7 (Oct.1968) through Apollo 12 (Nov.1969)! 13 months of rip-roaring successes that almost seem mythic in today’s environment.

Likely to make room for some raghead sh!t ?

[metmom]

That is inexcusable!

Meanwhile, "Apollo to the Moon" is being replaced by "Destination Moon," a new gallery that will display many of the prior exhibition's artifacts while also expanding the focus of the hall.

Likely to expand the focus to include more 'diversity'.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I’m glad to see it go.

I stopped going to that museum, which is second only to the Udvar hazy, because it never changed. Air and Space technology is constantly evolving, the museum should change with it. Let’s get some spacex tech in there and some photos from the more recent missions.

Let me guess: When it re-opens, it will be playing a loop from “Hidden Figures”, with a fighter plane from Red Tails overhead.

What are they going to replace it with?
A Muslim Bomb making exhibit?

Sounds like they don’t want to give Trump a backdrop next July.
