Escape Capsule from F-111E that crashed in Lincoln in 1975.
Final shot from the Dumfries Museum - lots of engines and other displays, very friendly and well worth a visit.
From Wikipedia-
The Nakagin Capsule Tower' (中銀カプセルタワー, Nakagin Kapuseru Tawā?) is a mixed-use residential and office tower designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa and located in Shimbashi, Tokyo, Japan. Completed in 1972, it has thirteen floors which house prefabricated modules (or "capsules") which are each self-contained units. Each capsule measures 2.3m x 3.8m x 2.1m and functions as a small living or office space. Capsules can be connected and combined to create larger spaces. Each capsule is connected to one of the two main shafts by only four high-tension bolts and are designed to be replaceable. However, no units have been replaced since the original construction.

La Bourbon, communément appelée Dodo, est une bière blonde produite et commercialisée à la Réunion par les Brasseries de Bourbon du groupe Heineken, dont elle est le premier produit, le plus connu et le plus vendu. Elle est ainsi surnommée en référence à l'oiseau de l'île Maurice aujourd'hui disparu qui fait figure de logo, un Dodo souriant.
Histoire:
La recette de la bière Bourbon a été élaborée avec l'aide d'un maître brasseur appelé Gérard Avanzini par celui qui a fondé les Brasseries de Bourbon en 1962, un certain Stevenson.
La première Dodo sort des fûts le 9 juin 1963. Elle est d'abord commercialisée sous le nom de Dodo-Pils, dans des bouteilles de 75 cl.
La boisson prend le nom de Bière Bourbon en 1970, mais le changement d'identité est un échec, la clientèle continuant de recourir à l'appellation dodo. La brasserie décide alors de communiquer sur ce nom pourtant officieux et de valoriser au maximum le profil sympathique du gros oiseau qui figure sur l'étiquette.
Aussi, cet emblème publicitaire aux couleurs vives apparaît aujourd'hui très souvent sur les murs des petits commerces traditionnels réunionnais accompagné du slogan « La dodo lé la », ce qui signifie « La Dodo est ici » en créole.
Au milieu de l'année 2005, un musée à sa gloire a été inauguré par le producteur à Saint-Denis, la Maison de la Bière Dodo.
De nombreuses publicités peintes directement pour la « Dodo » couvrent les murs à l'Île de la Réunion.

Apollo 14 Capsule
“I think about the personal accomplishment, but there’s more of a sense of the grand achievement by all the people who could put this man on the moon.” - Alan Shepard, Apollo 14 Commander
January 31 - February 9, 1971
Space is a dangerous place, complete with micro-meteoroids, radiation and airlessness. And coming home from it is not easy task. The compact and confined command module with its three man crew would be welcomed and engulfed by searing white-hot flames as it slammed through the atmosphere back down to Earth.
“In designing the command module, the one thing we had to be sure of was that we could keep the crew alive — that was a big item,” said Max Faget, NASA chief engineer and principal designer of the command module.
The engineers at North American Rockwell (NASA’s prime contractor for the command module) were up to that challenge. 14,000 people and a talented collection of 9,000 other companies, all worked to ensure that millions of components on the command module were in perfect order.
Named Kitty Hawk, the capsule was crafted with more than 2,000,000 parts; nearly 15 miles (24 km) of wire; a control panel with 24 instruments, 566 switches, 40 indicators and 71 lights. It would take a journey of 500,000 miles (804,672 km) before it safely delivered the crew back home with a cargo of more than 100 pounds (45 kg) of moon rocks.

Nakagin Capsule Tower, the first building with capsule architecture design. The capsule serves as a room inserted into a mega-structure, built for actual use.
Julia, Dan and I in a mock-up of a three person space capsule at Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral. I think one of my crew mates needs longer arms.
Kennedy Space Centre was amazing. One of the best vacation days ever for me, and my family. I think it may have solidified a life long love of space and space exploration for my daughter. I think I might pick up a telescope for summer nights at the lake now.
A special thanks to my wife for framing this photo so well.

Flight-Rated (but unflown) Mercury Capsule #17. Manufactured by the McDonnell Aircraft Corp., it was shipped to Cape Canaveral on April 18, 1963, and was used to provide spare parts for the last Mercury mission, "Faith 7", flown by L. Gordon Cooper Jr. on May 15-16, 1963.
This is what is called the Capsule Hotel in Japan. The measurement is 1M x 1M x 2Meters in length.
As if you are sleeping inside a comfortable coffin. Inside you have an airconditioning system, a tv, a radio, an alarm clock.
Are you game enough to sleep this accommodation?
