A VISIT TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM

 Some photos I took during a flying visit to the London Science Museum this week.

I've visited the Museum many times over the years, but as I had an hour to kill I thought I'd check it out once more.


There's a few new space related exhibits as well as a few old favourites. A small selection of Star Trek props and models celebrating Trek's 60 years have been added. 


There's a free flyer which folds out into a small poster which gives the locations of the various props dotted around the museum.



There's a replica of the Blue Origin  'New Shepherd' capsule.


It's a bit cramped in there, but those who can afford it or get an invite for that brief moment of weightlessness I guess it's worth it!



The solid looking, tried and tested Russian  Soyuz capsule.



If found, instructions to get the astronaut out!


The capsule control panel.

The larger Apollo 10 capsule.


The Apollo control panel.


The Saturn V third stage engine bell.


Moon Rock!


Sadly, that's all I had time to photograph. Now, I've got to fly!

  1. Nice photos but why do people think they can improve on the original Enterprise?!! Ugh!!

    1. Most of the props are from 'Strange New Worlds ', Kev. I have to admit I actually prefer the look of the 'Motion Picture' version of the Enterprise, over the original.

    2. I don't think I can get past the 1970's to be honest!
