Discovery Shuttle Ready for Launch
Discovery Shuttle Ready for Launch...or Not?

I took this shot at the Kennedy Space Center Observation Gantry the day before the Discovery's scheduled launch, only to find out the next day there was a fuel leak and that the shuttle would not be taking off for the next couple of days at the least. A disappointment, yes, but it's a good thing they found this before it was too late!
Land Rover? How About a Moon Rover!

This is an actual moon rover, at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

This is actually a fairly old photo (January 2006) taken on my first visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of Air and Space. My recent visit to Kennedy Space Center inspired me to revisit these photos. It's really a shame that this exhibit, showing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (I believe?) stepping out of the Lunar Module, is right next to the McDonald's food court. I used my artistic license to try to soften the background. This is a real module, but it was only used for training and did not actually go to the moon. The landing part of the module is still on the moon!
