[simpits-tech] Kansas Cosmosphere

[Rob Hommel]

Brian:

I would recommend trying this tact, as a former member of the cosmosphere join the museum. I was living in Colorado Springs so while I
couldn't very well attend the museum functions. I could get access to the museum director ask questions etc. Being a museum member even a junior member gets you access.

Keep 'em Flying

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

Hutchinson a few weeks back? Got lots of good pics of
Liberty Bell 7. :D
