At Kennedy Space Center in Florida Space shuttle Endeavour, now attached to Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905, is pushed back from the Mate-Demate device at the Shuttle Landing Facility.
Space Shuttle Main Engine
A cluster of three of these high-performance main engines provides the primary thrust to place the Space Shuttle orbiter into Earth orbit. These liquid-fuel engines gurn for eight minutes and are reusable and throttle able. Two large, shorter-burning solid rocket boosters are also used during launch and are jettisoned after use. The main engines are serviced after each Shuttle flight and made ready for the next flight. On top of the engine’s nozzle is the powerhead, which contains computers to regulate and monitor all engine functions.

Electricsprout recommended I crop another picture I took. This is the result, and I think he may have been right
Situated above the Pirates of the Caribbean is an art gallery that nobody ever notices or enters, regardless of how many signs and banners are placed around it. Perhaps the signs and banners just don't have enough arrows.

Please leave a comment I do appreciate them and lets me know what people think. I have so many photos and almost no comments. It also lets me know what pictures are best.
I had been toying with the idea that the trike body could be used to make a decent AT-RT but never got off my butt to try it. Then I saw Rocko's awesome Sninja, I was inspired. Space Police is probably more interesting than an AT-RT anyway.
Nearly 100 teams took part in the 2019 Human Exploration Rover Challenge, held April 12-13 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The competition, hosted by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, challenges high school and college teams to design, build and test human-powered roving vehicles inspired by the Apollo lunar missions and future exploration missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This year’s competition marked 25 years since the inaugural event.

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.

SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.

I'm the kind of person who always carries and uses a Fisher Space Pen.
The story goes that the US spent millions developing a pen that will write in weightless conditions.
It amused me to overhear a father proudly telling his son this so I could help but perpetuate the apocryphal tale that meanwhile the Russians used pencils.
I was naughty and didn't instantly debunk that myth. Pencils in space a dangerous. A broken tip floating around the space capsule would be a dangerous thing. You wouldn't want to get it in your eye and as graphite is a conductor it could do harm in electrical circuits.
