It's hard to imagine all of those little black and white bits on the floor were once the Columbia. -- Rusty Barton - Antelope, California |

Columbia Reconstruction Hangar Walkthrough
"LooseChanj" wrote in message ... Finally something noteworthy for the lj. Clicky: http://www.livejournal.com/users/ogw/10021.html It was an incredibly sobering experience for me. I was surprised to see the traditional pre-launch whiteboard, decorated by the crew's kids, incorporated into the display - that really played with me for a while. Most amazing sight to me was an MPS bellows assembly - usually about eight-ten inches in diameter and about a foot long, one is now a fluted tube stretched out to about twenty-four inches by three inches. A former coworker told me they couldn't figure out what the thing was when it first arrived, and still have trouble comprehending the forces that reshaped it. The reconstructed RCC display has to be the most impressive jigsaw puzzle I have ever seen. I was surprised that NASA staged the affair, and I thank them gratefully for the chance to say goodbye to a close "friend". I'm sure a lot of KSC employees feel the same way. -Kim- |
