Visit to Oerlikon Space

We took a short trip to Oerlikon Space in Zürich today. It was a very cool place that makes the aerodynamic tops of Space Launch vehicles and also works on parts of the International Space Station. Several students hit up the McDonalds to get a little bit of a taste of home. A meal from McDonalds here costs about $10-$12 US!
