JAXA Visitors' Complex

At the front gate of JAXA (the space center in Tsukuba,) they have a visitors' museum and gift shop that is open to the public.  On Tuesday after work, K (my travel companion) and I decided to check it out on our way home.  They have a ton of mock-ups at the museum and the gift shop was stocked with some pretty cool things.  I bought some post cards, a space station model (assembly required) and some Manga for my friend, Carolina.  As for the mock-ups, the pictures don't really do them justice, but they are fun to look at anyway...
