DC OK!
Also, DC is just kind of very awesome to bump around in for an afternoon. Got a good cappuccino, saw fish, wales, giant squid, mammals of all types, skeletons and more skeletons at Smithsonian Natural History. There seems to be a surprising number of colonial skeletons found in basements in St Marys. The botanical gardens are a warm humid delight in winter. A dosent excitedly showed us a plant that smells faintly of rotting meat. He loves his job a lot. Air and Space reminded me of all the badass crazy it took to get to the moon starting with the Mercury missions which answered such basic questions like can we swallow food in 0g and survive a 50 mile straight up trip on top of a missile. Air and space also showed stewardess fashion retrospective and quasi digital/mechanical pre computer airline reservation system. It's also startling to realize that the Atlas missile guidance systems gyros and computers are probably no better than an iPhone or $60 worth of off the shelf hardware and a weekend of tinkering with open source code. And why are the space shuttle jump suites only available in kid sizes from the gift shop?
