Smithsonian Franklin Oda and the Air and Space Museum
This is Franklin Oda. He's running the Smithsonian APA Program. The Smithsonian is so huge that they need an organization to make sure everyone is playing fair. They also do events, and make sure Asian Americans get represented. I think it's worth fighting for that. If they didn't, then who would. It was great to drop in and say hello.
This is Washington DC's finest example of graffiti. I dig this. I saw more than one. It's thick road paint, and you'll see if you're on foot.
That's the Air and Space Museum. I like how it looks like cracks in the buildings. Maybe it's like giant square hangars for the planes. It looks powerful outside and inside.

When you see how small the early space capsules were ... it gives you a much different perspective on what those guys went thru. Imagine you're in that little metal thing sitting on top of thousands of gallons of liquid propellant and even the best engineers would have to admit that it would be a miracle if everything worked right.
You're right, and I think that one had three people in it. I wonder if they knew where they were landing? Or if that was just a random guess.
Hi hi! Neat photos. Hope you enjoyed you visit. I meant to comment before. It was good to have met you. One thing though. My boss's name is Odo rather than Oda.
Have a great one!
any idea what these are:
