Someone spent a lot of time, making a water 'ink' printer. They made it work. It's a real rube goldberg design, and not a cartoon drawing.

Be easy enough to put paint in it!!

In somewhere hot and dry that message would last about 2 minutes. Maybe less.

That's awesome. I made the mistake of spilling the tiniest bit of acid out of a deep cycle battery onto my basement floor. It ate that concrete like you wouldn't believe. All it would take is an old car battery.......

Used to have season tickets for a decade when the kids were young. Love that place. I/we did an exhibit there of freezing bubbles showing off our cryo coolers back in the mid 80's. Last time I was there was for the mars rover landing taking my nephew...now it's an over night trip.

in the mid 70s while stationed in Germany I took my wife and daughter to Holland where in one of the cities we found the Eindhoven science museum lots of back then futuristic stuff you would think couldn't possibly exist projected holograms that followed people around real enough you could almost imagine someone was actually standing there talking to you. more like talking at you though. Dancing water that appeared to be gravity defying, realistically live animated dinosaurs. Too much fascinating things to list even if I could remember them all. Never knew about this place in SF. the few times I've been there it was get there, unload and leave as fast as I could. I was about 15 miles from the epicenter of the quake that brought down several over passes I think was in 90 or 91

San Francisco had a pretty significant earthquake in October 1989. Close enough guess for how long ago it was. You were lucky to have been that far away.

At the time, the worlds most televised earthquake. Happened just as a world series game was starting in San Francisco.
