Train down time duration does seem extreme. Supposedly due to replacing all the track while they took it down for TRON anyway. I think I read somewhere that is why more recently they removed the engine that was on display in front of Main Street Station for quite a while when the RR was first down. It's probably to the point where WDW RR has now been down for longer than it took DL to re-do the whole Frontierland / Critter Country corner that they re-routed due to Galaxy's Edge construction. That certainly seems like more of a big deal, with the elaborate new curves, bridge structure and River re-configuration.
Don't forget about the actual Atlantis Shuttle display at KSC! (though I admit the Saturn hangar was way cool too! A bit of a trek away from the main area on the internal bus though. Need to allow time for that, not that that's a foreign concept to WDW visitors )
I've only gone to KSC once, but that was pretty cool to be so close to the shuttle. It's displayed very nicely. Never did get to see a shuttle launch in person, unfortunately, even though work did take me down there for other launch related work a few times around a decade or so ago.
