They had an exhibit called "Popnology" which featured different forms of science fiction technology that has appeared in pop culture and how it has influenced/inspired our current technology and vice versa. Over Spring Break my family and I went to NASA's Johnson's Space Center in Houston. Inspiration can hit you at the most unexpected time.
