[simpits-tech] Kansas Cosmosphere

[Brian Sikkema]

The one problem I have with their Liberty Bell exhibit, and a problem I have with a LOT of exhibits like this, is the lighting. 
They surround it in plexi (understandably) and then put severely inadequate lighting inside, which make it pretty much impossible 
to see anything through the glare. When I got my pictures back I couldn't BELIEVE how much more detail I could see (pictures taken 
with flash, at strategic angles to eliminate reflections). As a researcher it would have been VERY helpful to be able to make out 
that kind of detail in person, where it's easier to get a good idea of size. Especially since I can't get in there and measure 
stuff.... :D

But it is definitely an amazing restoration. What I wouldn't have given to be a part of that team....

 Biran, I went there right after you did with some of my friends. Next time I must have more time to read all of that stuff.      
someone did a great job restoring the Liberty Bell 7. Standing in front of it it's hard to believe where it has been, and here you 
are actually looking at it!     Justin  -------------------------------------------------------------     You aren't kidding.....

Did I tell ya I got to the Kansas Cosmosphere in
Hutchinson a few weeks back? Got lots of good pics of
Liberty Bell 7. :D
