I visited the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL semi-recently, for the first time since I was a very little kid. It was disappointing all around—lots of stuff broken, outdoor exhibits clearly deteriorating, nickel-and-diming for every activity after a not-cheap entry fee, a ton of floor space dedicated to a visually (at least) hideous display that looked like someone took all the material from an aerospace defense contractor trade show and dumped it haphazardly about the place, their collection of space travel artifacts generally being unimpressive aside from the obviously-amazing turned-on-its-side-and-broken-apart Saturn V (if you could pay half the entry fee to just see that, it'd be the superior bang-for-the-buck experience by a long shot)—but the goofiest bit about it was that 100% of its depiction of the future of space flight, which was pushed on little displays and such scattered about the place, was dedicated to the obsolete money-pit SLS. Contributed to the feeling that the whole facility was paid-entry advertising for the aerospace-defense industry (I assume the SLS has been a reliable source of fat contracts for the usual suspects).
