RE: A final glimpse of the Space Shuttles before they left for the museums
When I visited the Shuttle Discovery for the first time, I was taken aback at just how large it is. I was amazed because watching them on TV for years made them seem so small, especially against the sky during launches. I'm sure it was great getting to see the shuttles before they were carried away. The 747s they transported them on have also always been a marvel of engineering to me. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the photos!
Indeed. To think that this beast could be launched into orbit too is really impressive.
Seeing them up close inside the Kennedy facilities was especially cool, knowing it was the end of a chapter in human history.
Very glad that you liked the post! Appreciate having you here :)
I'll have to try to visit the other shuttles some day. I'll be on the lookout for more fun posts from you. Looks like you have a great job!
