No, wrong again. 2 space museums and THREE science museums with space sections.

So I’d probably heard the name but I certainly didn’t remember it.

Actually, 2 space museums and 2 science museums with space sections.

I’d never heard the name of the first guy into space and I’ve been to two seperate space museums. One of them twice!

“unless you can somehow reduce the size of the Earth”

Probably never. Part three is going to be devoted to the real science fiction methods of getting into space, but they all face the same problem: the amount of energy you need to get out of the Earth’s gravity well remains a) very large and b) fixed, unless you can somehow reduce the size of the Earth.

Seriously, when are we getting better things than rockets?

Depends on how you define space.
