Everyone looks so bright and chipper for that 10:30am talk, I'm not a morning person
. Looks like everyone was really enjoying themselves, what a great turn out, well done Andy. I was there Saturday afternoon.
As what Dennis said... The NASA display looks amazing, I'll have to dedicate a day for that one, but I got a nice teaser. If you poke your head in on the 1st level (it's across 2 levels), and look left, you'll see a life sized replica of the space shuttle's crew compartment. It's easy to see it if you're not paying to enter.
Across both levels the walls are covered in giant posters of astronauts on the Moon and a glass magazine frame so you can put yourself on a Moon landing magazine cover. Oh my gosh I had so much fun with my family having pics taken pretending we were on the Moon, it was an event in itself
.
The exhibition is so huge that in order to get some of the larger bits in, they had to remove part of the wall and crane them in. It's timed to co-incide with the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing this year.
"Queensland Science Minister Leeanne Enoch said the exhibition was the first to be staged in the newly refurbished exhibition space in the museum.
A $3.25 million investment from the Palaszczuk government to see that expansion which means not only is this now the largest exhibition the museum has ever hosted, but it gives us the opportunity to host large events in the future,” Ms Enoch said."

My apologies Andy if I've hijacked your thread, but wow, this is worth letting as many people know as possible. I love your shirt by the way!
