Space Shuttle Endeavour SF Flyover

Nice little thrift store find. The ET and SRBs are plastic and the sharpener is in the base.

Not really pleased with the shots I got, but thrilled to have witnessed the final flight of the Endeavour as it comes to live here in Los Angeles

Not sure why I'm uploading both, but I am.

The Vehicle Assembly Building is 525 feet tall and is where the orbiter, SRBs and external fuel tank are mated prior to being rolled out to the pad. It was originally built and used for Apollo.

Like the Enterprise (see D.C. photoset), the Pathfinder never flew.

Our backyard is huge and nekkid. It is begging for a tree. And gazebo.

In our backyard.

After the launch

Very very hard to photograph and this was the best I could do... the speed through the sky meant that my tripod was still wobbling from the mirror movement as the ISS and shuttle flew overhead.

Visible in the western skies over Southwest france at 20:08 for just under three minutes.
