How long would it take to explore the entire National Air and Space Museum, including the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center?

I'm asking because I'm an aviation nut who wants to make a pilgrimage there in the future. I had a chance to visit DC for the first time more than a decade ago, but I stupidly turned it down. I won't make that same mistake twice. Although I have the money now, I'm going to hold off until the pandemic officially draws to a close, even after I get vaccinated.

Review of Draft Environmental Assessment for SpaceX Falcon Launches at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station | February 2020

Came across an FAA Environmental Study for Falcon Heavy from Feb 21, 2020, I went over it and decided to post this thread(3 deletions later) thats more of a TL:DR and any important/unknown information. Surprisingly there was a lot that doesn't deal with the environment but gave information into SpaceX and their operations to 2025, including Crew Dragon and Fairing Recoveries. There are many photos and renders that I didn't upload.

Sections (Anything with '*' contains very interesting information imo)

  • Falcon 9 Performance Numbers
  • Second Stage
  • Falcon Heavy Numbers
  • Dragon
  • Vertical Integration
  • Estimated Launch Schedule
  • Fairing Recovery*
  • Landing/Boost Back
  • Crew Egress*

Falcon 9 Performance Numbers

https://preview.redd.it/qtysjh89tjx41.png?width=2260&format=png&auto=webp&s=96aac565e81ab145830ae223f2388bf41182069d

Second Stage

"For added reliability of restart, the engine contains dual redundant triethylaluminum-triethylborane (TEA-TEB) pyrophoric igniters."

"In addition, the second stage contains a cold nitrogen gas (GN2) attitude control system (ACS) for pointing and roll control. The GN2 ACS is more reliable and produces less contamination than a propellant-based reaction control system. "

Falcon Heavy Numbers

"The propellants are the same as the Falcon 9 (LOX and RP-1). The Falcon Heavy contains 1,898,000 pounds of LOX and 807,000 pounds of RP-1 in the first stage, and 168,000 pounds of LOX and 64,950 pounds of RP-1 in the second stage. "

Dragon

"Dragon-2 weighs approximately 18,000 pounds without cargo and is approximately 17 feet tall with a base width of 13 feet."

"The propulsion system uses nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) and monomethylhydrazine (MMH) propellant combination because of its hypergolic ignition and long-term in-orbit storage benefits."

Vertical Integration (284' Tall, 118' Wide, 108' Long) - Already Known -

"SpaceX plans to develop vertical integration capabilities at LC-39A "

"The tower would have 11 floors and would be approximately 284 feet tall."

Estimated Launch Schedule
