Well, it's a wrap for the Starship Gallery, on to the rest of the exhibits. On my way I pass by Kids Space Place, a large exhibit made especially for kids. Tons of them are running around and enjoying the exhibits. What a great way to teach science to the little ones.

Hey, what's this? A planetary scale?

Indeed it is. I can weigh myself as if I was standing on 4 separate planets. I wonder, if the Earth was as big as Jupiter, would we all be a lot shorter? Conversely, would we be taller on Mars?

This looks to be a temporary military toy exhibit going on. It has nothing to do with space exploration and travel, so I wonder why it's here? And it's a retail venture to boot.
