I spent 3 days there in 1968 with my father. Couldn't walk another step by the end of it. An amazing collection.
Of course there was no Apollo 11 stuff, but there was a re-entry capsule from an earlier mission and IIRC you could climb inside it. It was quite a small thing.

1967 for me and yes the aviation section was our main goal.
We'd lived near Houston, so got caught up in all those current events

it was fabulous, even the parts we went into by accident.

I'm told it has suffered from ongoing budget cuts but not sure in what ways
