Here's some more things from the NASA exhibit in Brisbane (finishes 9 October): the Space Shuttle cockpit, some space memorabilia (love the S&P shakers), and, in case you ever wondered, a space toilet from the Skylab space station.

The NASA exhibit at the Qld Museum only has a week to go - if you love learning about space travel this is so worth the trip down to Brisbane.
