- Last week while on vacation in Seattle, my wife & I attended the Home Show,
- which was heavily advertised as having a "full-scale mockup of the space
- shuttle Discovery". What we actually found was a full-scale mockup of the
- Industrial Space Facility, plus some NASA exhibits on space suit construction,
- the evolution of space food, and space program spin-offs. We were quite
- disappointed not to see the advertised shuttle mockup.
-
- I'm not sure why this stuff is being displayed at a home-improvement show. We
- found some flyers that clearly said "space shuttle Discovery". The ads
- indicate that this stuff may be travelling to other parts of the country.
- So beware! If you attend one of these shows with the sole purpose of seeing a
- shuttle mockup, you're going to be disappointed.
