| On Thursday Nov 29, a “Three-In-One” event was held at the Science Museum of Minnesota. We first toured the “Lost Egypt” exhibit that focused on the common people who built the pyramids, how they built them, their daily lives and why they “loved their mummies”. We then went outside to look at the District Energy Plant. It uses renewable energy sources to create electricity and hot and cold water. The sources include the sun and wood from downed trees and construction waste. We took a welcome break and ate at “The Liffey” Irish Pub (some people cheated and had pizza). After that, back at the SMM, we investigated the Tornado Interceptor Vehicle, which is designed to do what its name implies. We wound up in the Omnitheater watching it survive a direct hit. You can’t help wondering what people dreamed of that night, eh? |
