I wish I could have been in Washington to see that. I guess it would have been like watching a funeral procession.

Over the weekend I saw the hand over ceremony with Discovery and Enterprise nose-to-nose.  It reminded me of signing over a title of a car.  It was sad to see but I know that NASM will treat her right.

Well Endeavour is on its way to L.A.  What a waste, there is a perfectly good hanger in Seattle that could she could be stored in.
