The USSRC also had an X-15 on display, at one point in time. It is currently in storage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.209.144.16 ( talk) 21:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
I went over to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Museums/Guideline to get some more ideas about things to do with this article because it still seems to omit large sections of information about the museum. While I was there, I rearranged the suggested sections and gave my reasoning on the talk page. I could be entirely wrong, but my thought is that the typical reader will want to know:
And with that sequence, I set about rearranging the sections here, rewriting the lede, and beginning to fill in the rest of the article. I see that National Air and Space Museum starts off talking about architecture and doesn't get to the contents until near the end. Perhaps there is now enough in the lede to begin to answer those questions. At any rate, I'm not satisfied with our list of exhibits - it's visually jarring, impossible to complete, and lends itself to unsourced claims (like the "not on exhibit" section). I would prefer something different, but haven't figured out how to fix it yet. Help is much appreciated. -- ke4roh ( talk) 02:46, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Based on my survey of Good Article museum write-ups, I am attempting to re-write the list of items on display as prose. This is challenging on two fronts: 1. I don't know diddly about the military items on display, and 2. I don't have great references for most items. Your help is appreciated with those matters and with writing. Please contribute to the working draft. -- ke4roh ( talk) 21:31, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm almost sure that there's a retired record-setting SR-71 Blackbird at the main entrance to the museum. Correct me if i'm wrong, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sleepiiii ( talk • contribs) 14:43, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect U.S. Space & Rocket Center® and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 April 15#U.S. Space & Rocket Center® until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The ride formerly known as Space Shot is now known as Moon Shot. I know because I took my kids on it a few weeks ago. There are some web pages making mention of the new name, but I have not yet found an especially compelling source for the new name. ke4roh ( talk) 03:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
