We visited the space shuttle Endeavour this afternoon.

We are fortunate enough to live half an hour from the final resting place for the shuttle.

Some close-up of the damaged tiles underneath the shuttle (after the final mission).

I always wanted to, but I never did.

Lucky you!

That's epic, Satch, did you by any chance see the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft flying above LA before landing at LAX a couple of weeks ago as well as the trek to the museum?

If that's not a pretty sight (as well as very rare,) i don't know what is.

I missed the journey to LA.

The shuttle flew right over the hospital, but I was inside working.

I will post more pictures tonight.
