Your Shuttle stuff

[shuttle_rtf]

I'm sure you've all got Shuttle stuff in the office or at home...post a pic and let's see <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />(Some of my home office...excuse the wallpaper, I rent the place) <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> You get points for spotting stuff.<br /><br />

Actually, in my room i have old National Geographic posters from the 60's of Apollo <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

I have a huge framed picture of Enterprise on the back of an SCA at Stansted Airport, London <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />(I'll put that on when we get a moderator on line for image approval).

Sitting here at home, all I have is a small Command Service Module model on my desk...I used to have a ton of aircraft models in here, but my wife upgraded my home office and made me put them up.<br /><br />I do have a picture of something huge in my professional life, THAAD Flight 10 - our first intercept after a bunch of failures.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

We're going to be here for a while waiting for a moderator, so I'll link up here:<br /><br />http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumid=10<br /><br />Add some yourself to both threads...I've got some more to go on <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

X24 and X15 small models. Used to have an Apollo CSM model but lost it a long time ago.<br />The rest of my models have guns and propellers on them <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

I'm hoping to get some nice pictures when i get to DC...<br />Whenever they moved the trip to now.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Enterprise...Young and Crippen...

 

[lunatio_gordin]

That is a great picture. I'd love to have it on my wall <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Yeah, one of my favourites for sure.<br /><br />One of Challenger on rollout.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

I'll get over to my parents at the weekend and get my dad to bring down his Saturn 5 (it's over 6ft tall!) <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[lunatio_gordin]

I really wish i had some of those cool 60's model kits.

 

[drwayne]

In a variation of the movie "A Christmas Story", my father and I (mostly my father) built a large Saturn 5 model when I was a boy.<br /><br />My mother knocked it off the table and broke it to smithereens...<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

Oh dear!!!<br /><br />Reminds me of when my dad and I glued a one foot long Shuttle Columbia together.<br /><br />My younger brother (about five at the time) decided the wings and the SRBs would be cool to eat. <br /><br />Forget foam shedding, my brother would have given the CAIB nightmares <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

Unfortunately, the only vaguely space-related thing i have at this point (besides books) is is an old puzzle of a dragon-form spaceship. But I did have a plastic model Space Shuttle at one point, I forget the scale but it was about 18 inches long. Unfortunatley, it ran into a, uh, meteor storm...

I had a snap-together Shuttle kit of an orbiter (presumably Columbia) with Spacelab in the payload bay. That would've been 1981, I believe; it was given to me after I came out of surgery for an umbilical hernia repair. I was six years old. My parents helped me with it. It was immensely cool and helped me focus on that instead of my recovery. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> We never did manage to get both payload bay doors snapped in, however. We could always get one, but not the other. Didn't matter which one we put in first; the second one would not go in.<br /><br />Sadly, it has long since been lost. Probably either got broken or was accidentally/deliberately discarded during a household purge. (One way to deal with clutter; periodically, when it gets to be too much, brutally go through with a trash bag and see what you can get rid off. Drawback: easy to throw away too much.)<br /><br />BTW, pics above are approved! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

Hm, best thing i have model-wise is Legos! <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Thanks Calli <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Looks like I'm the Shuttle geek here...mind you, I did once run to a bus stop, as someone said there was a new Shuttle on that route <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

since we're posting pictures, here's my space memorabilia: <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

 

[lunatio_gordin]

Never heard of a model show. But if there's ever one around here, i'll be sure to check it out.

 

[lunatio_gordin]

Here's one of the posters i have... (interestingly, you can still buy it!)<br />EDIT: actually, as i look at it, i notice mine is slightly different. It had a detailed course for how the Apollo would get to and from the moon.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Solid Bronze (heavy). Got it from a retired USAF guy who I knew years ago, apparently it's circa 1970s - my pride and joy.

OK, OK, OK - Must contain....jealousy!!!!<br /><br />Mondo freaking cool!<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

That's pretty nice. Almost looks like a trophy.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Can you spot the strange thing about it though?
