I hope the Science Museum has finally taken the opportunity to mention on a plaque identifying the Apollo 10 capsule the fact that it holds the record for the fastest vehicle ever to carry people; and that the three astronauts on board were and still are the fastest humans who have ever lived.

I would appreciate it if anyone who visits the new display could indicate whether the above points are mentioned. I visited the Science Museum four or five times over the last 30 years and every time I asked why the above information was not mentioned on the display, I was (inexplicably in my opinion) met with complete indifference. There seemed to be a complete inability to understand why that information would be of any interest to members of the public viewing "Charlie Brown."

I decided to ask my Google AI whether there is now a plaque telling visitors about Charlie Brown's record-breaking speed. The reply I got confirms that a plaque does now record this information.

I can only hope that this reply is accurate, and that the AI didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear!
