Incomplet. Lacks wings and a some other detail. Now disassembled.

Shuttle Endeavour flew so close to my job that I was able to take this photo from the roof.

March 1983, on a state visit of the US, HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Philip visit Rockwell's Downey plant in California, and see the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis under construction.

Shuttle. Through a fence. With a crappy cell phone camera.

Bonus shot for week 9 of the 52 Weeks of Lego project.

Space Shuttle Discovery is currently on its final mission, delivering equipment to the International Space Station. I had planned to save this shot for the week of the final shuttle mission ever, but all the remaining missions I could find on NASA's website coincide with weeks of important events in my personal life that I would rather showcase, so here it is this week. I missed the launch by a few days, but the mission is still on, so it's still a current event.

Taken at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS. The Cosmosphere is about the only reason for most people to visit this neck of the woods. Pretty impressive place for Nasa fans. They even have the original Apollo 13 capsule.

The space shuttle Endeavor, on display in California Science Center.

Yesterday at the Intrepid Museum, I bought a Nanoblock psace shuttle. Thought it would give me some fun to put together. It did, despite that tiny pieces (like Lego blocks shrunk in the drier) were hard to hold with my fingers, needing care to put together, pieces getting lost on the floor, and having over 500 pieces to deal with. I think it came out nice. Took me less than a day to complete it.

The vapor trail of the Space Shuttle, again from my driveway....it was an amazing launch!

April 20, 2012 Got a first peek at the Discovery in her new home before they opened the museum to the public. It is a real contrast to the stark white Enterprise that used to be here.

Really cool space shuttle landing simulator app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. It only covers the last 5 minutes of a shuttle flight (approach and landing) but it has lots of options and it's only $1.99.
