Missing my time in New York with my family. New York itself is a crazy yet exciting city to be in. Broadway shows are crazy expensive for the unaware. The Subways are surprisingly cheap. Protip: heed AirBnB host's words, "the subway platforms are ovens and the cars are fridges". I was genuinely sweating waiting for the subway, but freezing once aboard. Reminded me of Malaysia and our inability to set the a/c at reasonable temperatures. ----- #newyorkcity #nyc #thebigapple #thesideksamericanadventure #timessquare #throwback #tbt #citylights #citysights #people #streetphotography #nikon #d5300 (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn986vinQrS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gyeqrzh4n6lp

This is the Apollo Lunar Module (LM). It was designed to carry two pilots from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back. The LM is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Did you know that the Apollo guidance computers (AGC) had only 4 kilobytes of RAM? And only 32 kb of memory. Our smartphones have exponentially more processing power than the machines that literally took us to the moon. ---- #nationalairandspacemuseumsmithsonian #smithsonian #lunarmodule #moonlanding #washingtondc #usatrip #thesideksamericanadventure #throwback #funfacts #biggerthanitlooks (at National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwwTrgHgjn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l5fn92cjxacw
