It's at my home museum, the Udvar Hazy now. Very incredible piece of history and technology.

What a fantastic video! All those people are indeed so luck to be there. But only 17 comments after 9 years??

if you ever get to DC, take the DC Metro Silver Line to the end of the line or Dulles airport (for now it stops in Reston, a suburb away) later on - the Udvar-Hazy annex to NASM is where the really juicy artifacts are located. You get to stare up into the wheel wells of Discovery these days, etc - you're really close. They also have an SR-71, the Enola Gay, an Air France Concorde, the Boeing "Dash 80", a bunch of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo artifacts including _the_ quarantine Airstream. A bunch of random space suits, mission hardware, Apollo Guidance Computer parts, random race airplanes, random military airplanes (including many rare/unique ones), some old WACS uniforms, some US clones of the V-1 buzz bomb, and the scale model of the mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And yes, you will find yourself humming B flat, C, A flat, (octave lower) A flat, E flat when you're in front of it:P

@@e5095 you're a good dad. Sometimes, the real learning is out in the world. :D I've only been there once myself, and due to where/what DC is, didn't get a rental car; but staying at the W by the big map of the city meant we were blocks away from public transit to any of the main destinations; DC really was wise to put that subway system in, and to continue to expand it, as it's such a freeing thing as a tourist to know there were always taxis if needed, but most places were on or close to a Metro stop. Even in cities with light rail, it's not quite the same, although I could get on light rail and ride to our airport in my city, the network doesn't have enough coverage yet, so I'd have to be intentionally driven to one of the lines, at which point may as well drop me off right at the main terminal by car. D'oh. My fellow travelers on that trip weren't at all veterans (second round trip flight in their life, shockingly enough) so when I pointed at the Metro line station at Reagan airport knowing the train went to basically right across the road from our hotel, I was vetoed and we all crammed into a taxi. Newbies can be funny sometimes, but I didn't want to fight it. They went to portrait museum. DC is truly neat though - on day 2 or 3 of trip, the rest didn't want to go to Udvar-Hazy (yeah) so I buzzed there solo - sadly (and I think that's still current status) the line ended at the big transit hub at Wiehle street - had to wait a while for the bus, which then spent a good 45 minutes wandering to various business parks and a few apartment complex areas in Reston and once to the main gates at Dulles... oooh so close, then back on the freeway for a while and eventually there it was... Udvar-Hazy! :D Hahaha, it's not really that much of a hassle, however a direct shuttle (or the eventual train stop at Dulles+shuttle bus) would have been far preferred over cruising the 'burbs of DC, and is something people visiting should be aware of. Plan a lot of extra time in your commute to get there at opening, etc :D

Fake video or real ???
