Being an Astrophysicist, everyone says I should visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I've been many times, but as it's free,I figured I might as well go again. They have the first SpaceShip One, which won the X Prize, they have the Soyuz-Apollo spacecraft which was done to promote peace between Russia and the USA, and they have lots of rockets and space suits. And a full size Hubble replica! Most exciting to me was that they had Christer Fugelsang's Mission spacesuit, which is so exciting because on my course in Sweden, he was a BIG DEAL. The museum is set to get a Space Shuttle when they retire, I can't wait for that!
