Yes, I'm still obsessing about space stuff...

I went up to see how Endeavour's settling in to her temporary home.


She'll look more impressive once the new exhibition hall is built with a full-scale mockup of launch pad with solid rocket boosters and fuel tank, but I really enjoyed being able to walk right under her.

Here's a video I took with my patented "unsteadicam" technique.



Okay, okay, enjoyed isn't quite the right word. "Burst into tears with full lip wobble" sounds less dignified, however.

the rest of my photos from today.

trivia for the day: it's spelled "Endeavour" because it's named after Cook's ship. You know, the British explorer who thoroughly honked off the Hawaiians.

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go swimming, out among the stars?"

I remember watching an Endeavour launch on TV oh so long ago. I'll have to come down and visit sometime.

Hope you're well, 'ickle jackal. Finally made an account to say hello, since either my email's not getting through or you're simply busy as always.
