I think i would take Discovery if i was Wright Patt because of john
Glenn Flying on it and he is from Ohio, i would drive 45 minutes to see

For those who are trying to learn FACTS, not crap like Bob here,
If you're talking mass, most of the Apollo program landed in the ocean.
If you're talking available hardware, it's all here and can be seen.
In fact I may go see a LM later today.

I don't believe any of that belongs to United Space Alliance. USA was
contracted to run operations, but they never took ownership.
