How will I survive? [UPDATE]: I'm back!

[cubinator]

I am flying out to Washington DC tomorrow morning, and I won't be able to play KSP until I get back next Thursday! What do I do? Besides totally nerding out at the Air And Space Museum, of course!

Hack someone's laptop... 

You can probably do something cool wit simulators at the NASP...

If there happens to be a KSP reference there I'll make sure to post it here!

Are you going to the Udvar-Hazy, or the NASM?  I've been to the Udvar-Hazy, it has an amazing density of planes.  It also has a SR-71 and a space shuttle, but it doesn't have the Apollo CM.

KSP don't require installation and can be run from a memory stick

1) Find the nearest stairs. Preferably high ones.

2) Start at the top of them, step back 20 metres and return to the top of the stairs running.

3) When at the top, jump and smack your face into the dirt - in real life this time. The physics are amazing.

4) Profit!

5) Have someone call an ambulance.

The NASM has a special all-night event on Friday, so I might go to that.

Ooh, nice.  Late nights at museums are great.

If you're not in Eastern time zone, Best Buy is open for at least another hour.

Of course, I assume the post was really less "I can't play KSP boo hoo" and more "I'm going to NASM nyah nyah." Where else are you going?

I am in Eastern time.

Well, I'll see the Smithsonian (or as much of it as is practical), the Capitol, the big important monuments, the National Archives place where they have those big pieces of parchment that are kind of historic...and of course the Independence Day parades and fireworks. Though it's sure to be a whole lot of fun, I still think I'll be ready to launch a few rockets by the time I get home.

Make a sticker or something of a Kerbal, or something else Kerbally, and find somewhere spacey to surreptitiously stick it. A Real-Life KSP Easter Egg!

I'm back! Man, are there museums there. I went to two or three almost every day and still didn't see all of them. I went to both NASM and Udvar-Hazy, and enjoyed both a lot. I'd never seen an SR-71 before! Anyways, today I'm finally going to launch some rockets again!
