The unarmed security guy at the door to the museum asked if we had any weapons, but there was no metal detector or bag check (at least for purses). At the tram/train that took us to the NASA buildings, there was a metal detector and uniformed armed cops. I threw all my metal (coins, keys flashlight, small pocket knife) into a basket-- one of the cops picked out the pocket knife, rubberbanded half of a numbered coupon to it, and said I could pick it up at the booth when I came back. Which I did.
Just remember ANY type of sign or notification or no firearms/guns is valid on federal property.

Re: Johnson Space Center

Space Center Houston IS federal property, so no 30.06 needed. It is managed by the 501(c)(3) but the property actually belongs to the feds. They check bags going in and the signs state no firearms. I personally would try to leave it in the hotel if it can be secured, but at minimum leave it locked and secured in the car in the parking lot (gray area there, but should be OK.)

As LarryH said, JSC is totally off-limits and even taking a firearm onto property will be a total no-no. And, they have guard gates and the right to search your vehicle, so best leave it somewhere else.
