I absolutely did mean "her" -- my sincerest apologies!

They really aren't much to see, but I will definitely put them up. I won't be able to post until later this evening, though, unless I take iPhone photos of my camera's LCD screen, and I don't think anybody wants that.

I also have lots of photos from the Discovery/Enterprise ceremony last week that I hope to have up this weekend. Will post them in the relevant thread.

Still nothing from NASA TV. Just things about White House drive social media outreach to NASA's future for woman, or something.
They want us to forget the program ASAP. I felt that with lack of coverage with Discovery and this confirms it for me…

Thank you CNN

Forget what program? Oh, right!

The Space Shuttle was America's longest-running human space project to date. Any youngsters who started work on it during its formative years in the early 70s are about retirement age. And that wasn't lost on people, judging from the big crowds here in DC. It's been a big part of our national psyche, even if at times we took it for granted.

Oh, well. Back to selling off my space and shuttle plastic models on eBay...

I used to track the SCA flights during the active shuttle program on flightaware.com. The Discovery and Enterprise delivery flights have not been tracked. What gives?

There seems to be nothing on the schedule of either channel...
