The Space Shuttle Endeavour on the 1st morning of it's 4 day journey through Los Angeles. One of four retired orbiters it will be displayed at the California Science Center. Shuttle Enterprise will be in New York, the Shuttle Discovery in Virgina, and the Shuttle Atlantis in Florida.
A panoramic view of the Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101). This was the first shuttle built and was primarily used for approach and landing tests (ALT). NASA intended to retrofit the Enterprise for space flight after the construction of the shuttle Columbia, but design changes during Columbia's construction made this prohibitively expensive.

I'm dubbing the location the "Space Mountain plateau" for no good reason other than it's a wide open flat space in the shadow of Space Mountain.

The Dunwich Dynamo is a turn-up-and-go challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney to the lonely Suffolk beach at Dunwich. It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way. We have to get from Leicester to London via train first...
Electricsprout recommended I crop another picture I took. This is the result, and I think he may have been right

Once I had a baby Exo Suit I needed a baby turtle to go with it. Added a Teenage Stellar Robot Turtle for good measure! The daddy turtle is Peter Reid's from set 21109.

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.
