Endeavor’s Last Flight

I’m out of chronological order here, but on Friday we in some parts of California were lucky enough to see Space Shuttle Endeavor come through on its way to its final home at the California Science Center. It was a much-anticipated event and many viewing areas were packed. One of the flyby spots was JPL so some friends and I decided to go near there to Devil’s Gate Dam. Bruce joined us during his lunch break and a ton of other people were there as well. It was great to hear the gasping at the first glances of Endeavor; it was such a majestic sight. Here are a few of my photos.

In that last one you can see people up on the hill across the freeway from JPL. People were everywhere!

Our friend Aaron chose Griffith Park as his vantage point. He is quite a photographer and his photos are amazing. Here are a few.

Last Flight

It was a remarkable event, well worth the two-hour wait in the sun. We look forward to seeing Endeavor close up at the Science Center!
