The authentic orbiter Pathfinder used for testing purposes during the Shuttle development program. Pathfinder sits on an external fuel tank (orange) and two solid rocket boosters.

A zoom on the Vehicle Assembly Building. I need to go down there sometime and get a better picture. One from not so far away

To give you an idea of the size of this building, the American flag on the side is about the length of a football field.

Space shuttle last one.

Unfortunately I don't know which part. I'm pretty aviation-illiterate, even after the tour given by our awesome docent.

At Udvar-Hazy Center

I like this one too. Brian really liked going up and down the stairs.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- After 30 years and 135 missions, residents and visitors to Florida's Space Coast see this rocket's red glare for the last time as space shuttle Atlantis soars past the American flag after lifting off Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:29 a.m. EDT on July 8. On board are four experienced astronauts -- STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. STS-135 will deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts for the International Space Station. Atlantis also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission experiment that will investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites in orbit. In addition, Atlantis will return with a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS-135 will be the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.
