I’m excited to announce that the Almost Scientific team will be installing both The Neuron Chamber and The Raygun Gothic Rocketship Uira Engine for a one night show this Thursday, November 5th, at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.

Be there!

Both The Neuron Chamber and The Uira Engine will be part of a Exploratorium After Dark: Electricity. Exploratorium After Dark is an evening series exclusively for adults that mixes cocktails, conversation, and playful, innovative science and art events.

Coming to this event (and bringing along all your friends) will be a fantastic way to support Almost Scientific, The Raygun Gothic Rocket, The Exploratorium and Bay Area art/science culture all at once!

In addition to The Neuron Chamber and The Uira Engine there will also be:

* No Kids!
* A Cash Bar!
* All the cool Exploratorium exhibits.
* oh yeah … And Dr. Megavolt

(And tell them you came to see the Neuron Chamber and the Rocket Engine!)

Rocket Science

If there was one piece of artwork that dominated conversation this year it was “Raygun Gothic Rocketship,” a kitschy, retro-futuristic 40-foot rocket that looked like something out of a Jules Verne movie adaptation circa 1957. The excitement about the piece was centered on its scheduled “launch” set for Friday night. Debate about this “rocket launch” raged throughout BRC:

“It’s a joke. There’s no way they’re getting that thing off the ground.”

“I heard they’re only hoping to get it up four or five feet.”

“If they actually try to launch that thing, I’m sure it’ll fail miserably.”

“They’re probably just going to blow it up.”

“Well, whatever happens, I’m sure it’ll be cool.”
