I like spending my Sundays like small children do. Today was the Science Museum.
Bough myself a bag of candy and wondered the rooms like a kid.
The Space Room, with all the satellite and rocket information, very nice. Also the cosmonaut´s suits and food. Even they show you how to sleep in the space. And also they have a picture of a space toilet, of course, I was hoping to see, the "Wolowitz zero gravity disposal system" (The Big Bang Theory), but it wan´t there.
I found amazing the Ford T, the old bikes, and the Apollo 10 Command Module. And some curious stuff, like old Thalidomide capsules, or a jumper made with fleece from Dolly, the first sheep to be cloned.
You can find in the last floor a gallery with different simple experiments to understand how Phisics work. My favourite was the dry ice dropping into a warm water pool and making the most beatiful figures while melting. Also, the infrared screen, where I could see myself like Predator would see me.
Really amusing. It´s nice to feel like a child again sometimes.
