WASHINGTON DC — The Apollo Lunar Module LM-2 is displayed in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the National Air and Space Museum. This two-stage spacecraft was built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation for a second uncrewed Earth-orbit test flight that was ultimately deemed unnecessary after the successful Apollo 5 mission. Between 1969 and 1972, six lunar modules identical to this one landed 12 American astronauts on the Moon during the Apollo program. The LM-2 has been modified to appear like Apollo 11's Lunar Module Eagle and consists of an upper ascent stage with pressurized-stock-foto

WASHINGTON DC — The North American X-15 rocket-powered research aircraft is displayed in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. First flown in 1959, the X-15 bridged the gap between atmospheric flight and spaceflight, becoming the first winged aircraft to achieve Mach 4, 5, and 6 velocities and operate at altitudes above 30,500 meters (100,000 feet). The experimental aircraft was fabricated using Inconel X, a high-strength nickel alloy designed to withstand aerodynamic temperatures of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit during hypersonic flight.
