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. Check out www.f-sim.com/test2/ - also my blog post: flyingsinger.blogspot.com/2010/12/ipod-shuttle.html
Space Shuttle Enterprise on its way to JFK Airport but not before doing some flybys over the New York/New Jersey Area.
A little twist :)

The final scheduled night launch of the space shuttle fleet. The unusually clear weather permitted sound to travel unprecedented distances, so that the launch rattled my windows over 50 miles away (several minutes afterward).
Sometimes in order to get the shot you want, you have to get a little dirty.
That’s exactly what I did here in Inglewood, CA when the Space Shuttle Endeavour was making its final journey to its permanent home at the California Science Center. My son, a fan of all things space, brought along his die-cast shuttle to the event and as we were leaving, I thought it would be interesting to have the two of them in the same shot and as close to the same proportions as possible.
I had him place his toy on the ground while I laid flat on my stomach in The Forum’s parking lot with the camera firmly on the ground.
The result is this shot, something we will never see again.
Week 4 of the Flashback Friday album.
1985, I believe.
My mother and brother gave me these stickers after a trip to Washington, the Summer before the Challenger exploded.
Here's the cockpit and middeck of the shuttle. One of the astronaut figures is snoozing in a sleep station while the pilots are above.
A slight deviation from my normal wildlife photography, but this was such an impressive sight I had to post!!!
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.
