Smithsonian and IMAX

Recently, I was at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I was amazed to find that it is now free to the public as it was quite expensive when I last went in 1999, ten years ago. We have a pattern now (my wife and I) of going to Hawaii every 5 years and to the east coast every 10 years so far. However, this could change.

So, one of the things I really wanted to see was several of the real American Space capsules on display there as well as saturn boosters for rockets into space and the wright brothers plane and the spirit of Saint Louis in which an American was the first to cross the Atlantic successfully in a plane, Linburgh was his name.

After visiting the Air and Space Museum we next visited the Native American Museum next door. After seeing several media shows and visiting an amazing amount of authentic stuff(only 1% of their stuff is actually on display) we returned to the IMAX near to 6 pm to watch the IMAX of the latest installment of "Night of the Museum" which takes place mostly at the Smithsonian which is really quite fun to watch while actually being there at the same time.

There is a giant octopus in this one that reminds me of Galaxy quests octopi and the octopi at the bottom of the sea in transformers and of a shamanic experience that I wrote about that happened on Maui in 1989 of a giant Octopus from the future and past who is/was a time traveler and who came and spoke to me and told me that his evolution had started on earth as Northern Pacific Octopi and had been genetically engineered by humans and later by evolved Octopi to become the very intelligent Octopi that his race had become. However, he had said that mankind enabled his species to exist. So he had rescued the surviving humans from what is now the Asteroid belt but what was then a planet out past Mars that exploded in a thermonuclear war. He brought some to Mars but they were pretty pissed off about having most of their atmostphere blown off by the thermonuclear war on the Asteroid belt planet when it exploded. So, eventually (Flame I call him) got permission from the Galactic government to move the surviving humans of the asteroid belt planet to earth because by then the big dinosaurs had been destroyed by the asteroids that impacted earth from the explosion of the asteroid belt planet. So, mostly all that was left then was little dinosaurs when the asteroid belt planet survivors were brought to earth. Many Mars survivors eventually came to earth as well.
