Come to Kansas if you want to see the Apollo 13 exhibit. It's breathtaking.

Personal note: Although born in Cleveland (OH), his family moved to Milwaukee (WI) [my home town] when he was five. He grew up in Milwaukee and eventually went to UW-Madison (WI) [my Alma Mater]. Milwaukee likes to claim him as "their" hometown astronaut due to his numerous connections with the city. I had an opportunity to hear him speak in Milwaukee in the late Sixties (post Apollo 8; pre Apollo 13). After his talk, I strolled onto the stage and introduced myself. He was very personable and eager to chat about astronomy and NASA. Being star-struck, I asked for his autograph (which he was delighted to give me and I still have).
