National Air and Space Museum Stephen F. Udvar-Hazy

It's always good to re-visit this place, if only to get a good walk in and to re-realize how advance technologies of years back give us a glimpse into the possibilities that must be taking place behind the scenes right now.

Many of these flying objects were invented years ago. In fact I discovered a laptop computer on display today that was used in 1985. Interesting. It looked similiar to laptops we use right now. Makes you wonder what NASA has got going at the moment, right? The SR-71A Blackbird was also on display. I'm kind of wondering why they didn't haul a UFO in there, but I guess they wanted to keep some space open for the Concord. I couldn't get a good picture of it though because it seems that they are cramming a lot more planes into the space right now.

Either way, I took a little more time reading the signage this time and learned a few things.

Technology - Worldwide Telescope - NEW!

Very cool new product from Microsoft that you can download to your computer to view different parts of the universe, planets, moons, etc.

I just keep wondering - if this is what they give out for free to users, what do they have behind the scenes that they aren't willing to show us yet?
