There's rather a lot of energy and ideas buzzing around in my brain and if I don't let out into the world my head will explode.
You may have the same problem sometimes.
Go ahead and experience this place it at any level you like. There's some tidy little mind-snacks, some more substantial idea-sandwiches, and you can even dive deep into vast pots of existential pudding.
Stick your toe in, or do a cannonball at the deep end.

2022. Artemis 1 Capsule Scheduled to Return to Earth.

1983. Flag Day.

1968. Mars Needs Women
Release of this startling original interplanetary love story which asks the eternal question: Can a human teenage girl find happiness with a rubber skullcap- wearing alien boy?

1851. First Dinosaur Sculptures.
Open at the Great Exhibition in Kensington, London and move to Crystal Palace Park after the event closes.
The "Monsters" are as much an expression of the Victorian imagination as they are of paleontological research but they are still supremely cool!
And if you happen to be in London, you can go and see them today:
