DutyCat Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Pete, I'm sitting outside waiting for you to drive by and pick me up! Gil, when you do make it to the exhibit don't forget to take some nice pictures and post them here. Mike. I will take plenty of pics when I actually get to see the shuttle exhibit. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until next time as it won't be open for this visit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Crap. I will be 100 years old when they open this thing. I guess I better start living better if I want to make it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceman Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Hi all together, here are some great photos from the Atlantis exhibition by Ben Cooper to see, and here ever a small selection ... To first of all of course the huge ET/SRB stack at the entrance, finally in full size. And next Saturday, it is so far ... P.S.: In addition, there are also a variety of interesting galleries on its website to Space Shuttle & Rocket Launches. Edited June 22, 2013 by spaceman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, when I follow this link it brings me to a log in page and not your album. Is it possible you posted the link wrong? Looking forward to seeing the pics.

spaceman Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Bill, I think you need an account for ImageShack to see the pics. I have logged in and can see all pics Gil made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 dutycat can u fix the link so i can see your shuttle pic because when i click on it all i see it the photo shack main page that says please log in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) See if this works. I don't have much experience with imageshack, so there is a learning curve it seems. If this doesn't work, I will have to figure something else out. You should not have to have an account to see photos.

spaceman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 And then it finally happened, and the opening ceremony could begin. Here are a few shots resulting from the video below, from the stage with the placings for selected Shuttle astronauts right and left of the lectern to gradually fill, up to the symbolic countdown from T-10 to the simulated ignition of the booster rockets at the push of a button for the opening of the exhibition. And here is the complete of the opening ceremony. (Source: NASAtelevision) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 More than 40 astronauts, including crew members from each of Atlantis' 33 flights, from STS-51J (1985) up to the last mission STS-135 (2011) give a thumbs up to the display of the retired shuttle following the exhibit's opening ceremony.
