The Science Museum
Definitely not a Kim thing so, while she was off sorting out work stuff, I jumped on a bus and took myself down there.
The main entrance on Exhibition Road.
I didn't bother with everything - that can take a couple of days. There's some space stuff:
A model of Sputnik 1.
The Apollo 10 Command Module - this baby went round the moon, but didn't stop.
A mock-up of the lunar landings.
Some older forms of transport:
Stevenson's Rocket - the first practical steam train.
A Spitfire hanging from the ceiling - I probably had one of those at home when I was about 9.
A Spitfire in bits all over the floor - I definitely had several of these at home when I was 9.
And some other odds and sods:
The original Watson & Crick DNA model - this looks like a bit of bum cell to me.
And they are knocking up a working Babbage Difference Engine though I'm not sure if you could get Linux running on it.
