My impression is that what you heard/read might well apply in some measure to another museum on the right coast, but that the one at Moffett Field in California is squarely aimed at "historical" (cf their name change) as in preservation for research and education, This is as opposed to for example "a kiddie museum" aimed at entertainment of the masses, and wherein historic artefacts might be sold to fund the construction of Disneyesque attractions that will contribute improved revenues to the bottom line. But again, I'm just an interested onlooker... just my impressions. Jitze
