Umm… Yeah.. it’s been a while. I’ve had lots going on including some major life style changes, one of which has meant limiting my time online… thus, people probably ain’t been seeing much of me.
I’ve been promising a friend that I would post this entry for a while, so here it is.
Introducing…
One of the coolest places I’ve been to in Second Life (SL) … I suppose my geeky science background will show through…
The place: International Space Museum located in the Spaceport Alpha Sim
Pictures speak a thousand words, so I’ll go easy on the words and share the pictures…
One of many impressive sights is a display of the history of different rockets.
You don’t appreciate how many different rockets there have been until you see
them from afar.
You can take a tour of the space station. This is an incredible
thing to behold. What you don’t realize looking at this picture
is that the Space Station is a full size replica (this picture
panned way out!)
Once at the space station, you are given the opportunity
to take a tour of all the planets. Saturn has always been
a favorite of mine. Each planet has information points
posted with facts about the planet’s size, rotational period,
time to orbit the sun, mass and any satellite or probe visits.
I can’t recommend visiting the museum enough. As it is, I have visited twice and still am finding new stuff to explore. I expect that I shall be returning again and again.
Catch ya on the flip side!
