Despite living here since 2006, I stumbled across a Karpeles Manuscript Library museum in town for the first time, yesterday…which, as it turns out, has more than manuscripts in it. I was on my way somewhere else and just had time to peek at a couple of exhibits on the first floor, one of which was some Space Race-era spacecraft bits, including an Apollo guidance computer (right next to some small Egyptian relief carvings and several large wooden ship models…it was an eclectic place that I’m looking forward to spending more time in).

Not sure where I was going with that, except to say that I like spacecraft bits.
