Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Good. Good.
Yes, going back to look at it, you can tell what they're painting isn't connected to Space, but made to blend in. But Space does need a good pressure wash/paint job.

It needs repainted and LED lights added!

Disneyland cleaned theirs. WDW, naturally, did not.

Agree. The blue paint is very faded and washed out. It's now a pale light blue. It needs a darker hue, maybe Royal Blue.

Well, Disneyland's exterior has been dirty a lot longer than WDWs, but there really isn't a excuse.
I'm sure TDO can rent a pressure washer from Home Depot.

One thing I miss was it being lit up at night. Back in the 1970s-1980s they had floodlights on it and it was very bright. You'd definitely notice it as you approached from the ferry or monorail. Now, I'm not sure if they have any lights on it as it really doesn't light up in the night sky. If they do have lights on it then they are very dim.
It'd be cool if they used the same LED lights that they use on the castle to light it up except reserving the change of colors to something theme-appropriate like Orange and Yellow alternating for Halloween or Green, White, and Red for Christmas or Red, White, and Blue for July 4th.
Another thing I miss is the castle being lit up with just white lights. I think the LEDs are great for both energy savings and because they can add to color to the various shows. I really wish that they'd just leave it white when a show isn't happening. The "Demo Mode" makes no sense. Why is the castle constantly changing colors? I don't get it.
