I'll end out visit to the Smithsonian National Air &
Space Museum with some odds and ends from the second floor.
More Apollo modules
and artifacts from the "Apollo to the Moon" gallery. To thing that
the TI-hand calculator that I used in high school had more power than the
computers controlled by the Command Module Main Control Console--And we got men
to the moon and back!
I did take in a show at the Einstein Planetarium. Journey
to the Stars narrated by Whoopie Goldberg. Any show there is worth the
price of admission. This one completely by-passed the "Big Bang
Theory" in describing the origin of the universe--very interesting. I
hadn't realized that it was passé.
Finally, I did visit one of the war rooms,
which was designed to mimic an aircraft carrier. You could stand in the command
room of the main deck and watch planes land on the deck before you--I thought
that was interesting.
