My husband and two year old daughter were at the Udvar Hazy Museum in Chantilly, VA (right next to Dulles Airport) early this morning to see the fly over. It flew over the first time at about 9:30am, then it did the DC fly over. About an hour later it did two more low and slow fly overs by the museum; it was amazing to see. Everyone cheered at each fly over. I got some pretty awesome pictures (I’d post them but have no idea how). Looking forward to going back on Thursday for the nose to nose ‘meeting’ of Enterprise and Discovery prior to Enterprise’s move to NY.
woke the kids up early this AM to catch the take-off. The first time I saw the shuttle transported on a 747 was on a 13 inch B&W TV with an antennae. Now we watched it on a 58 inch plasma. I had to take my wife to Dulles and we got stuck in the mess around the Udvar Hazy and the airport. There were thousands and thousands of people stopped EVERYWHERE.. that never happens.
despite the complacency, people were proud of the program and this SOB shut it down. Why, so he can buy a few more votes with more welfare entitlements.
Now I have to explain to my kids that thanks to Obama, the dream of being an astronaut is all but gone. But becoming a community organizer and organizing a community that kills young men by the bushel is the new dream job.
Now NASA is a mulsim outreach program with a side job of taking temperature readings for the globull warming agenda while the russians take the lead in space.
What a disgrace.
