Your Shuttle stuff

[shuttle_rtf]

Well this thread only served to make me look like the Shuttle Geek out of all of us.<br /><br />Surely someone's got a mock launch pad in their back garden, or a coverted their garage into an OPF? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

<font color="yellow">Enterprise... at Stansted Airport</font><br /><br />I was there... 1983. We lived in Essex at the time and cycled to Stansted just to watch Enterprise fly in from (I think) France. <br /><br /><i>(will try to see if I can locate the pics..)</i>

I guess that's true.. Since just afterwards the orbiter came off too <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

Here's my PC at home. The rusty light is from Apollo Launch Umbilical Tower #1, there is also a swing arm bolt and a KSC mouse mat. I have a flown shuttle tile in the other room.

Sounds great, if anyone is interested in launch complex models, a friend of mine is just about to release a range in hi fidelity brass etched, should be incredible.<br /> <br />Please go to www.launchcomplexmodels.com but maybe wait a few hours as it seems to be down right now, he's in Merrit Island FL.

She's beautiful, Spacefire. What is there not to love about her? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Very nice Oz. I notice you have the Kennedy Space Center Video Feed page up <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

I remember that poster (below your pic of the SHuttle w/ SCA)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />I'm in the process of moving and so my "one big thing" is a photo of Columbia at the pad ... a night shot with the floodlights going .... BEAUTIFUL!

This guy obviously has no kids under 10........ My 1 and 3 year old boys would have that into match sticks in minutes!

 

[lunatio_gordin]

Holy cow!!! i would be afraid to breathe near that thing! that's absolutely amazing!

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Wow..that's a work of art.

 

[lunatio_gordin]

I think we have a winner. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Great, now I have to pull out my VentureStar and JSC ashtray trump card <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

[odysseus145]

I've got this really nice poster of shuttle Discovery lifting off. I couldn't believe the detail when I saw it. A neighbor of mine gave it to me. He got it though a company he works for; Thiokal I think. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[odysseus145]

Forgot the pic <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[shuttle_rtf]

Wow, yeah, the guys that build the SRBs. <br /><br />Damn, great poster.

 

[shuttle_rtf]

If anyone on here is going to have cool Shuttle stuff, it's got to be SG <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Mind you, what's cooler than working with them! That's what I'd call a winning hand.

 

[lunatio_gordin]

Awww! i want a Venturestar!!! that's not fair...<br />that's an awesome poster, too.

 

[lunatio_gordin]

That's so cool...<br />There's an atronaut from a town up the road here. Col. Curtis Brown. He flew on the STS-95 with John glenn. Came and talked at the local university. My friend and I went and met him. It was really cool.

 

[spacefire]

<font color="yellow">Great, now I have to pull out my VentureStar and JSC ashtray trump card </font><br />that's a gorgeous model. too bad it's a 'might've been' <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> <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]

hm... I thought i remembered him saying 6, too. That's strange. It was a few years ago, just after Columbia, i believe.<br />Naturally, he said he would be more than happy to take the next flight if it were tomorrow.
