National Air and Space Museum

This museum is one of Earth's most visited, because it contains some very important real objects. The orange plane is the "Glamorous Glennis" AKA Bell X-1, which Chuck Yaeger piloted into being the first vehicle to break the sound barrier. In front of it is Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne, the first private spacecraft to take people into space and back (twice)
