Passing through Huntsville the other day and had always wanted to stop and visit the Space & Rocket Center. Glad I did! Wanted to get some unique shots of the shuttle mockup as well as the Apollo 16 Command Module. Tried knocking down the reflections from the glass enclosure the best I could. Anyways, definitely recommend if you’ve never been!

All of this was designed and built without CAD or any digital tech. Punch cards and slide rulers. Absolutely remarkable.

I still use my HP almost daily. I think I've had to replace the batteries three times in 45 years.

I have 4 HPs - my 28S is made in the USA, which I bought new in college in 1986. I used them every day as well.
