That's pretty much spot-on. Although most of the West coast of South Florida is pretty weird.

Well, yeah. Ray Finkle grew up there, for pete's sake.

I just watched the shuttle fly over the Getty. So much awesome. So freakin' big! I mean, I knew it was big--it's a space ship bolted to the top of a 747 for pete's sake--but I was still blown away by the size.

Right but they changed the design--it says so right in that thing you quoted. It's not the same.

right but the design was changed after the fact, it was still designed to eventually fly in space, and had most of the finished systems for flight. Because of the cost involved they decided to build a whole new one instead

People on CA are mad cuz they have to cut down 400 trees to get the shuttle to it's final resting place. NASA is having to obviously replace the trees, give scholarships and other things, lol

Strange they "had" to get it out of Houston, but wont be moving the shuttle for like 12 days

They were cutting down 90 year old trees in the middle of Crenshaw Boulevard. They should have just picked a different route that wouldn't require changing the landscape so drastically.

There wasn't a poor section they could cut through?

I went by Dyess AFB today and I guess it finally got the laser 747. Trying to find some info on it. There was a small dome on top just behind the flight crew and the top of the plane behind the dome was sunk down some. Took some shots but was pretty far off.

If challenger hadn't blowed up we wouldn't have endeavour

Hey now, take your shuttle and go sit in the corner and be quiet. Though you are correct
