tuftearsA bit belatedly, but here're the pictures I took when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dracosphynx and I visited the Star Wars exhibit at the San Jose Tech Museum!
This car was parked out front of the museum! Bet it draws a lot of looks when it's out on the street.
They had models of the ships. So much amazing detail!
Not all the models there were Star Wars. These are, from top to bottom, a Bussard ramjet, a laser-assisted ramjet, and a Nerva nuclear-bomb-pumped rocket, if I recall right.
I couldn't pass up taking a picture of the Han Solo outfit, of course. Yay, scruffians!
Lightsabers and blasters respectively.
It was a fun trip! We didn't like the rest of the Tech Museum quite as much unfortunately; it seems like the sort of place you take relatively young kids, in the range of about 8-10 years old or so, since there were a lot of hands-on exhibits. But the Star Wars exhibit was full of neat tech, including some presentations on how future tech is quickly becoming the tech of today-- bionic arms and the like. They had one area where kids got to drive around a 'ground effect' vehicle and see how it would slide around.
