Great photo.
I’d print and frame that. Well done!

Having been there only about a year back, I have to say they do a damn good job on the entry to the Atlantis gallery. Without all the backstory in multimedia it would still be a great gallery but would way less impact on the young.

All. I can think of seeing this:
Do a barrel roll!

Been through the Atlantis building a bunch of times. That video and reveal gets me every time.

I cry every time Leonard Nimoy says “33 missions – 4,848 orbits – 126 million miles travelled – Atlantis Welcome home.”

How much does it cost to get into the Kennedy Space Center these days? The Seattle aquarium runs $44.95 for adults (13+) and $34.95 for youth (4-12), while Washington State residents pay $39.95 and $29.95 respectively…

Helluva shot.
And I just realized, once Endeavour’s new exhibit is finished, all three spacefaring shuttles left will be displayed in different stages of a mission.

I have went there dozens of times and every time I’m with someone new, I sit through the video to see their face when it happens. So epic that I couldn’t believe it when I went through with my cousin the first time. He knew about it and didn’t say a thing.

Took him to the place he was named after, something he’ll remember forever.

Wow that is incredible. Id love to see that. I’m not comfortable travelling to the US right now, but hopefully things improve there.
What a wonderful photo. Thanks for sharing.

The presentation before you see it is amazing too !

Never ceases in amazing me. Just the view alone. Throw a proud space uncle and an eager space nephew in the mix and you’ve got pure magic.

Took my daughter about a month ago. It was amazing. She was stunned when I told her that was actually the shuttle and that it had been to space. 😀

That is simultaneously both larger and smaller than I expected it would be.

I was there last Nov! Such an amazing exhibit!

I was honestly shocked when that screen lifted up and this was the first thing I saw.

It’s a great part of the KSC. I grew up 2 hours from there and went for the first time a couple years ago with my kids.

I did this for the first time 2 days ago. That and the Saturn rocket reveal blew me away. 46 year old man sobbing like a baby. Sorry to the folks who had to witness that

It’s hard to really understand just how large the space shuttle is until you see it in person.

The Atlantis reveal was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Incredibly well done
