Science Museum

Very exciting part of the Science Museum, I should say.

We're not big time enough to hire out the whole freaking museum.

But yeah, next Tuesday, Construction Mental Health Summit is taking place Tuesday, 10th of November at the London Science Museum.

The link is down below to sign up We've got amazing partners, amazing speakers coming in from the UK, the US and Australia.

This promises to be a really good event.

This is not Babbage.

That's Doran Swade from the Science Museum in London, who... put together a working model of the Babbage.

I think this is actually the original engine, not the fancier one that he was trying to build.

But computing has been around in some form or another for, what is that, 150, 100, getting close to 100, more well over 100 years.

So immediately, I recognised the Apollo spacecraft.

If you've been to the Science Museum, you may have seen one, because they have the Apollo 10 command module there.

And also from the Apollo era, the Little Joe 2 test rocket, which is a bit more obscure, but still instantly recognisable.

Also, nothing to do with the story.

And to try to break the Wright Brothers' monopoly on human flight, they ended up stealing the credit to...

Samuel Langley, who was the former director of the Smithsonian Institution and an early aviation pioneer, in frustration, Orville Wright sent the original Wright flyer to the Science Museum in Kensington, London, and it stayed there until after World War II.

It finally came back to America.

All right.

My sources tonight include Paul Brickhill's classic account simply called The Dam Busters, John Sweetman's military study, Operation Chastise, and research material held by the Imperial War Museum in London.

For those who want the engineering side of Barnes-Wallace in depth, the Science Museum in London holds a substantial archive of his original documentation and design work.

Keep the shiny side up!

Okay.

Over 900 fans gathered at the London Science Museum to break the record on September 10th, also known as Star Trek Day.

The record attempt was hosted by drag king MC Don Juan-
