Boeing Pledges $30 Million To National Air and Space Museum
The Smithsonian's busiest museum is getting a makeover after receiving the largest corporate donation in the institution's history. Boeing has pledged $30 million to redo the National Air and Space Museum's central exhibit. The two-year project will be the first overhaul since President Gerald Ford opened the museum in 1976. Highlights will include Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis," John Glenn's Mercury capsule from his first Earth orbit and an Apollo Lunar Module recalling America's first moon landing. The project also marks the start of a renovation of the entire building. That will go until 2020 and require federal funding.
