Challenger Space Center

The Challenger Space Center in Peoria, AZ is a giant disappointment. The memorial to the crew features laminated photos on a wall, that's it. There are also brief generic bios of the crew, non of which come close to indicating the true nature of a once-living person. The history aspect is severely lacking as well, which is the most troubling to me. No time-line of events, safety outcomes or lessons learned from the failed mission, chunks of shuttle or O-ring, causes of the explosion, cultural impacts of a national tragedy, mentions of the following hiatus from flight, or even ONE single photo of the craft exploding (the image is iconic not obscene). Most of the exhibits are not of Challenger but of other missions, most comprising of photos and patches on the walls. It is like sitting in Applebee's or TGI Friday's, without the fun.
