Smithsonian Air & Space Museum

 The Welcome Center at the Air & Space Museum.  I love this place.
 Rockets, rockets, rockets everywhere!
 There is even a full size Zeppelin.
 This is an amazing sight to see.  All these historical planes hanging from all the ceilings.
 The silver plane in the foreground was built by Howard Hughes.
 The Gossamer Albatross, a peddle powered plane hangs from an upper balcony.  The Gossamer Albatross is a human-powered aircraft built by American aeronautical engineer Dr. Paul B. MacCready's company AeroVironment. On June 12, 1979 it completed a successful crossing of the English Channel.

People have called me a "space-cadet" in my youth.  I wonder if this is what they meant.
