The nearest pub to where I live. The hanging sign shows the space shuttle on one side and the sailing ship on the other. This caused me some confusion when I first saw it as I was sure I had seen a space shuttle on the sign but when approaching from the other direction it is the ship.
The sailing ship - HMS Endeavour, also known as HM Bark Endeavour, a British naval ship, was commanded by Lieutenant James Cook on his first voyage of discovery to Australia and New Zealand.
The space shuttle - named after Cook's ship HMS Endeavour. Space Shuttle Endeavour OV-105 was constructed to replace Challenger, which was lost in 1986. Endeavour's first flight was in May 1992. It's final mission, STS-134, was to the International Space Station in May 2011. It's last flight was a ferry flight in September 2012 to Los Angeles where it is now on display at the California Science Center.

I needed to be at a work site today doing a Caracara (a threatened raptor) survey that always begins 30-minutes before sunrise. I was about 70 miles away from Cape Canaveral and knowing that the shuttle was launching this morning, I got there a few minutes early. I didn't get there in time to photograph the shuttle itself (although I saw it!), but I got to photograph the contrails it left later. As the sun rose, the sun rays on the contrails made for a cool effect. I'll post several of the shots I got over the next few days. The little puff of a cloud at the top of the photo is where the booster rockets separated from the shuttle.

On its 25th and final flight, Endeavour launches to the International Space Station with the $2 billion dollar particle physics experiment known as the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), built by the European Space Agency. The AMS will detect and measure cosmic rays and search the universe for increasing evidence of dark matter and antimatter.

Enterprise, the first Space Shuttle Orbiter, is the centerpiece of the new McDonnell Space Hangar at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The orbiter's been at the museum since it opened last December, but the space hangar has been closed off while workers refurbished the Enterprise.
Now, visitors will be able to get closer, exploring the Shuttle and a host of other space artifacts from the ground level or from two elevated overlooks.
"It's beautiful ... very impressive," said museum curator Paul Ceruzzi. "It deservedly will be the center of attention." Visitors can't climb into the shuttle, but Ceruzzi says he eventually hopes the museum will have a shuttle cockpit displayed separately. He also says the museum is considering putting cameras inside some of the exhibits to give visitors a virtual inside look. And he hopes they may someday replace Enterprise with a space-flown orbiter, once the Shuttle fleet is retired.
Enterprise never flew in space, but it was crucial to the Space Shuttle program. Its series of approach and landing tests in 1977 proved the orbiter could fly in the atmosphere and land like an airplane, except without power -- like a glider (+ View Photo). Astronaut Gordon Fullerton, who piloted the Enterprise to its first landing alongside Apollo 13 veteran Fred Haise, rekindled memories about the test flights during a dinner at the museum earlier this month (+ Read More).
After those tests, Enterprise was flown to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where it was mated with the external tank and solid rocket boosters and subjected to a series of vertical ground vibration tests. The orbiter was also sent to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it was rolled out to the launch pad to act as a "stand-in" as NASA prepared for the first shuttle launch

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986, when the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger (OV-099) (mission STS-51-L) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members, which included five NASA astronauts and two Payload Specialists. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 EST (16:39 UTC). (Words from Wikipedia)
