A different space program: Tom Sachs in Hamburg

I was recently in Hamburg and was able to see this great exhibition.
Something for those of us with a passion for space travel, those with an interest in art or with a certain hands-on mentality.

The courage and bravery of those early space pioneers is amazing. My only wish would be to live long enough to make a space flights affordable for the average Joe.

Looks an interesting exhibition and I like Hamburg. Ref his watch comments / digital is always better - what is the view on battery drain thee days. Freezing weather drains your battery power by 30-60%. ... Most batteries work through an electrochemical reaction, which sends power signals to your terminal ends. This chemical reaction slows down in colder weather, weakening your battery's power..... I recall years ago lending someone due to live in Antarctica for months an old mechanical SLR as they were worried about battery drain..... I guess the tech has all moved on.
