It is definitely a very impressive sight… and one we will not see again. I wish the clouds and the sunlight would have cooperated better… but seeing it is still a memorable experience…

Some of my friends were able to see it as it left Houston that morning. I was asleep and didn’t realize it would circle a last goodbye to the city.

Personally, I believe it should have been able to stay in Houston. I think Houston was the obvious choice for it’s final resting place. However… they did not ask my opinion…

What a great shot! I met Endeavor up close when I was on a business trip to Kennedy Space Center. It was an amazing experience.

I saw Discovery lift off piggy-back from our local Air Force Base a number of years ago… watching that enormous bird lift above the trees was a moment not to be forgotten. And seeing Endeavor on it’s last flight brought most of our city to a stop as cameras snapped and videos ran and people watched in awe.
