Ken Kremer posted some beautiful photos of the final Space Shuttle on the Pad in these two online articles: http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=1541 http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=1542 Here's one and part of his commentary...
"It was both relentlessly breathtaking and surreal to find oneself at a historic crossroads - looking skywards from directly beneath the wings of the very last shuttle orbiter that will soon be orbiting Earth some two hundred miles overhead. NASA's Space Shuttle's are the most complex and magnificent machine built by humans, constructed with over two and a half million moving parts." -Tom |
