that IS a pretty awesome photo. thanks for the link. somehow it seems i've
never seen the shuttle that way before, usually it's not so close up, i
don't think i've ever seen it so "lumpy" before. usually it looks much more
sleek and smooth. really looks funny. wrapped in refractory fire bricks.
like they hired a brick mason to assemble a spacecraft. or a ceramicist.

i wish they had photographed the exterior last time it flew. :-(

yay the shuttle flys again! safe trip home!

b.w.

There's a non-zero probability that that's the coolest photograph
I've
ever seen in my whole life.
