| Too cool!  It always amazes me that the shuttle gets "piggy-back rides" back home.  I heard that they probably won't launch another shuttle until at least March.

| Lots of years ago, NASA flew it around a few cities before going back to Florida. It was a shocker to see that huge package flying around the beltway. |

People pulling over left and right. Flight always amazed me. A full size 747 just doesn't seem like it should be able to get off the ground by itself. Having that on it's back, damn good pilots I supposse. ***I'm talking what, 20 years ago or so?
