Air and space? I get motion sick...




I've worked a week now at the museums. I say museums plural because there are two separate museums... don't get them confused. I worked at the new space museum today. It has a Titan II and a bunch of cool little space pods, also a shuttle simulator that looks suspiciously like an arcade game. The aviation and space museums are crawling with volunteers that are mostly veterans. Many of them were operators or engineers on these flying objects. My favorite so far is the Blackbird or the SR-71. Here's a propoganda style picture of it. It is so beautiful. I never thought I'd call a machine that, but there it is.
