Another prototype is heading to New Jersey! ... En-route to New York. Space Shuttle at Sea: Enterprise Sails for NYC's Intrepid - Yahoo! News Cheers,
Here she is arriving New York Harbor by barge Space Shuttle Arrives in New York Harbor by Sea - 6/3/2012 - YouTube and then leaving Port Canaveral http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zBopXT1cVc&list=UUozLeKG5aswjLG-IQ8yTotQ&index=94&feature=plcp all compliments of our friends at newyorkharborwebcam, portcanaveralwebcam, and portevergladeswebcam.
I thought this was gonna be a joke... like "A tug,a barge and a shuttle go into a bar" LOL.... sorry, couldnt resist...
Well in a way it is a joke, she can travel into space and back again at 17,580 mph yet once back on the planet she travels on the back of a barge at a measley 8 knots! Whatever happened to piggy backing on a 747 at 500 mph? Oh the irony of it all!!
Up close and personal. FA18 extended view of Space Shuttle Endeavour's flyover Southern California - YouTube
Thanks for posting such a great vid! So they do so still use the 747 to shuttle the Shuttle around the country!! Awesome!!! The best part for me was that the video conjured up lots of wonderful memories of the days I lived in LA eons ago. I was lucky enough to have been to all of the cool places shown in the video. The film makers were fortunate that the Shuttle arrived on a low smog day. I decided to leave LA when I walked out of my office on Hollywood Blvd and couldn't see any further down the street than a couple of phone poles as the smog completely obliterated everything else!!! Thanks again for sharing!!
