 Not so!  I was there yesterday and saw at least two references to the
Challenger disaster : 
  In the Galaxy center, adjacent to the "applications of space
technology" display, there is a memorial to all of those who have died 
while working in the space program, including the Challenger crew.
  The introduction to the IMAX film in the Galaxy theater, the fact that
several of the Challenger crew appear in and contribute to the film is
clearly pointed out, and in fact the film is dedicated to the Challenger
crew. (It is, by the way, an INCREDIBLE film!!!!)
