one thing I must do before its my time to leave is visit KSC. Is this a
left over command module from the Apollo era
or some replica built for display?
thanks

The Smithsonian has a real Apollo Command Module in it for a little bit
longer.

The Apollo 13 command module was at the Louisville Science Center for many
years. Unfortunately, NASA wanted it back and picked it up a couple of
years ago. I have no idea where it ended up.
