Today I walked around downtown Austin and the University of Texas campus. I started off going to the Texas Science and Natural History Museum. As soon as you walk in there is a T-Rex and a Quetzalcoatlus skeleton. Besides the dinosaur area, the rest of the museum was very meh. I’m glad I didn’t have […]

For those out of the know, Starbase is where SpaceX builds their rockets and Starships. All of the buildings are off limits to the public, but you can drive right […]

Today was another fun museum day. I went to the US Army Aviation Museum on Ft Novosel, formerly Ft Rucker. When I got there I thought I’d blow through it pretty quickly. I was happily surprised to find that they had a lot of prototype and famous aircraft. Some of the most notable are both […]
