MUSEUM OF NATIONAL EMERGING SCIENCE AND INNOVATION .

Bobbi remembered that at a museum somewhere in the world you can experience zero gravity. We read somewhere that they had a spacewalk so we thought we'd check it out. Sadly it was a crappy 3d simulation/ poor cg movie showing our solar system.

We did get to have a go of some naff robots (they could barely walk). We took a look at the inside of a mini submarine pod, and also the inside of an apollo like space station interior.

There were also a lot of little gadgets such as DNA scanners (not really it was a fake anim, did the same each time). Along with a lot of robot arms and biological mannequins.
There was a really groovy stretched family car there which was fuel efficient and nicely designed due to be on the market in a couple of years time. It as no engine but just a motorised wheels... hence there a so many of them. I think market price was around £150k
All in all a groovy enough visit but would only do it once.
