다 보신 후 올려논 동영상도 감상해 보세요.
현제 뜨고있는
대단한 미녀의 연주로 CZARDARS를 올렸습니다.
S.F.에 사는 친구가 가슴 설래며 찍은 사진을 먼저 살짝 올립니다.
이 짧은 역사의 순간을 즐기신 후
ENDEAVOUR의 마지막 비행순간을 지켜 보세요.
정말 ONCE IN A LIFE TIME EVENT로 길이 기억 되리라 믿습니다.

역사의 순간을 지켜보다
처음 몇 사진은
'친구의 글 입니다'.
오늘(Sept. 21,오 20120)은 참으로 흥분된 날이었다.
아침부터 사람들이 뚝길을 메우고
기다렸다.자동차들도 즐비하게 늘어서 있었고...
NASA의 retired space shuttle Endeavour가 마지막 비행 하는 모습을
지켜보기 위해서였다.
역사의 한 점을 찍는 Space Shuttle을 Boeing 747기에 태우고 우리집 위로 날러갔다.
비행기가 비행기를 업고 가는 모습은 참으로 신기하기도 했지만 우리나라 애기업는
풍습같아 더 정감이
갔다.
마지막 정착지인 LA의 CAL Science Center에 전시되어 젊은이들의 꿈을 키워주겠지?
It was so cool and awesome.
Endeavour's Last Flight
On Friday, NASA's space shuttle Endeavour landed in Los Angeles, California, after completing its final flight,
a cross-country farewell journey with flyovers and stops in Texas, Arizona, and several locations in California.
Endeavour completed its last space voyage in June of 2011, and has since been undergoing a decommissioning process in Florida,
preparing to be delivered to the California Science Center.
Now that the shuttle is in Los Angeles,
it will undergo a few weeks of preparation before being carefully towed through city streets to its new home.
Collected here are a few snapshots of Endeavour's farewell flight.
(Bonus: The last four images are 3D anaglyph images, for those with a pair of red/cyan glasses handy.)

Los Angeles on its final flight, on September 21,
2012. The retired space shuttle spent its last day
in the air on a 5-hour flyover before landing at the
Los Angeles International Airport, where it will
stay for a few weeks before taking a slow-speed land
journey across town through neighborhoods to its
final museum home, the California Space Center.

aid of the device.

last commander, requested that the shuttle pass over
Tucson to honor Giffords, who is recovering after
suffering a head wound in a shooting rampage last
year.
