There's Jim, stepping out of the original Mercury space capsule at the 
New Mexico Museum of Space History in Alamogordo. We were a bit short of time that day, so we just wandered around their outdoor "sculpture garden" of stuff that goes 
really fast.

I was taken with the construction details.  Welds that will hold and screws/bolts that won't come loose.

The beautiful patinas created by tremendous heat and force.

The lines, patterns, and forms all designed for a specific function.

From these early beginnings to today's safe arrival home of the space shuttle Atlantis.  Amazing!
