点评:Cannot recommend the National Air and Space Museum enough (how is this place free to visit🤯)! The place is enormous (obviously, as there are entire airplanes, rockets, spacecraft, etc indoors)! We got to see the actual space suit worn by Neil Armstrong on the moon, a training dummy of the 5 ton Little Boy atomic bomb, the actual earliest flying machine built by the Wright brothers, the actual rocket-powered Bell X1 that Chuck Yeager flew faster than the speed of sound plus a P-51, X-15, SR-71 Blackbird and plenty more! Perhaps the most amazing was our free tour guide, the wicked smart 96 year old Bob Fish, who walked us around spouting all kinds of facts for like 2 hours! Besides being super nice he’s seen and done a LOT! He got to witness Castle Bravo… (look it up but it was the last hydrogen bomb the US tested in like 1954 and was approximately 1000 times more powerful than Little Boy)!🤯 Truly unfathomable! We were there until it closed but I could’ve used at least a couple more hours (and pairs of shoes)! All of the workers were very nice, it’s all very clean with pristine restrooms, plenty of places to sit and rest and even a good cafe in the basement (prices were actually more reasonable than I expected)! Honestly I could spend a whole week here but it’s absolutely a Do Not Miss! FYI, you have to get a free timed entry ticket online like at least a day before and you have to go through security on arrival (the security guards were actually pretty chill here).
翻译:我简直无法用言语来夸赞国家航空航天博物馆了(这么棒的地方居然免费参观,太不可思议了🤯!)。博物馆的规模极为庞大(想想看,里面陈列着整架整架的飞机、火箭和宇宙飞船呢!)。我们亲眼看到了尼尔·阿姆斯特朗登月时穿过的宇航服、重达5吨的“小男孩”原子弹的训练用模型、莱特兄弟制造的第一架飞行器,还有查克·耶格尔驾驶着突破音速的贝尔X-1火箭飞机。此外,馆内还展出了P-51战斗机和X-15实验机等。SR-71“黑鸟”侦察机,还有好多其他展品!最令人惊叹的莫过于我们的免费导游——聪明绝顶的96岁老者鲍勃·费什。他带我们四处参观,连续两个小时滔滔不绝地讲解各种知识!他不仅为人极其友善,而且阅历丰富、经历非凡!他曾亲眼目睹“布拉沃城堡”核试验……(可以去查一下,那是美国在1954年左右进行的最后一次氢弹试验,其威力大约是“小男孩”原子弹的1000倍!)真是难以想象啊!我们一直待到关门,不过其实我还希望能多待上几个小时(再多带几双鞋就好了!)。所有工作人员都非常友善,整个场所干净整洁,洗手间也一尘不染;这里还有很多可供休息的座位区,地下层甚至还有一家很不错的咖啡馆(价格比我预想的要合理得多!)。说真的,我完全可以在这里待上一整周呢,这里绝对值得一去!仅供参考。你必须至少提前一天在网上领取免费的定时入场券,到达后还需要通过安检(这里的安检人员实际上相当随和)。
