Smithsonian Air and Space


Just down the street from the Holocaust Museum is a string of several Smithsonian museums, one of which is the excellent Air & Space Museum. Here we see the Wright Brothers' Flyer from 1903 just down a few display halls from NASA's Apollo 11 moon landing capsule from 1969. I look. At these two relics and I notice that only 66 years after a flight of 108 feet, two men walked on the moon, a quarter of a million miles away.
