Somebody borrowed it to use in Iraq and Afghanistan. And now for bailouts too. It is incredible how simple the equipment they used back then was. A cell phone has more computer power than the entire space craft did back then. I have had the chance to see a couple of capsules on display (can't remember exactly where though- not at the Smithsonian since I have never been there).
