Have you been to the Smithsonian? I have. More than once. It's all there. Yes, this stuff is junk. It will inspire no one to do anything. Don't believe me? Take a bunch of kids to the Air and Space Museum and have them choose between looking at one of the many rocket engines and going in a flight simulator or one of the other exhibits, their choice. Whatch how long they spend in front of the engine vs the other exhibits.
Look, I love this stuff. I am the guy spending thirty minutes looking at the amazing mechanical engineering at these exhibits. At the same time I recognize this is not what inspires youngsters.
