Visit to the Space Shuttle Endeavor

Pictures from my visit to the California Science Center to see the space shuttle Endeavor. If you haven't been, you need to go. No picture I could take does it justice-it is truly awe-inspiring, even for someone as cynical and jaded as me (haha.)
Please tell your Congressional representatives that NASA deserves to be funded. Manned/unmanned spaceflights yield discoveries that benefit all of humanity. 

Chandra X-ray telescope to survey X-ray emissions from supernovae and other cosmic phenomena.

Spitzer Space Telescope-infrared telescope that takes some stunning pictures of nebulae and early galaxies.



Not going to lie, I teared up when I saw this. Amazing.


AMERICA! To bad NASA no longer gets funded...


Panorama shot I took-sorry for the strange bulge.

Bottom of the shuttle-all of these tiles are individually labeled, cut, and placed.

Spacehab module for cargo storage

Gigantic "wing"

America at her absolute best.
