While lots of people picked Air & Space, not everybody digs airplanes strung up with baling wire from the ceiling (my daughters didn't dig it). [QUOTE}

I really enjoyed the space travel aspect as opposed to the airplanes. I couldn't believe how small the space capsules were and sure could not imagine being blasted into space in something that tiny. As you say, different people like different things but I'm a girl and I really enjoy the Air and Space museum. I have been there several times and always enjoy it.

What would you do if you got an itch?

I can't answer that question but they do show you some of the "equipment" used to shall we say go potty.

Thanks for your response! I was being rhetorical I remember thinking how small the capsules were, that's from a time when men were men

I knew it was a rhetorical question but couldn't help throwing in the bathroom reference. As far as how small the capsules were, I don't know if it is true or not but I had heard that at one time you could not be an astronaut if you were over six feet tall.
