The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum reopens on Oct. 14 with eight new galleries full of interactive exhibits, new artifacts and old ones as well. It is a more inclusive museum than in the past—featuring the WR-3 air racer built by Neal Loving, the first African American certified to race, and a T-38 flown by Jackie Cochran, the first woman to break the sound barrier. See the Apollo 11 command module, along with Alan Shepard’s Mercury spacesuit and a room dedicated to the 1903 Wright Flyer, with acoustics that evoke the beach at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. And for sci-fi fans, a full-size X-Wing Starfighter from “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” is on loan from Lucasfilm.
