You should probably be glad that you didn't get to see it up close and personal like the folks in the doctor's office did.  :spooked:

I guess that would have been okay as long as the damn thing didn't land on your head.  ;D

For the last time in history, a space shuttle soared into the skies over Florida  on Wednesday (Sept. 19). Rather than riding on rockets and heading into orbit  however, the space shuttle Endeavour was mounted atop a jumbo jet and is  destined for a California museum's display.

On a serious note, I'm kind of saddened that one of the orbiters didn't end up at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.  Those people played a large role in the shuttle program; controlling every mission from the time it cleared the tower in Florida, until the time it landed back on Earth.  I know there were only three, and that NASA kept one for display at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but I can't imagine that some of those people at the JSC don't have a bitter pill to swallow over the whole thing.

  I personally think that will be a long time for NASA to come up with something that will compare with the the Space Shuttle and what it did.  A marvelous piece of science technology and American manufacturing quality.  :salute:  :4th3:
