2002_832002_88  Glazed with a plastic membrane, allowing huge spans of transparent walling with minimal structural support, this is a museum of science that looks like it could hold a rocket.  And it does -- albeit a British rocket.

More here on quite an ingenious Science Museum's trail of 'sculptured structures.'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
