LM2 is completely unique from any other object in the collection at the National Air and Space Museum in that it is the only manned vehicle designed to fly in the vacuum of space. There are no wings, no rounded fuselage. In fact, only the reaction control nozzles have any aerodynamic shape to them. Essentially, LM2 is our only true spaceship.
