I just injured four toes walking from Dixie Farm/Highway 3 to the flat top. Totally and completely worth it.


EDIT: Erik, everyone down here thought the same thing. (And by everyone I mean my mom and the alumni on Facebook)

Man Im jealous. Not of the injured toes but of being that close to it

We are situated right between Stennis and Michoud (and many of mentors come from both sites) so the Shuttle went right over us. I was sitting in physics when we heard a loud, whooshing noise to which the teacher remarked something along the lines of "Oh, there's the shuttle". Unfortunately it was the kind of thing that by the time we could have gotten outside, it would have already been gone..

People have done a lot of ridiculous things with the 747, but the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) is probably the coolest variant. It's too bad no one had the space to leave one of the Shuttles (perhaps the Enterprise?) mounted on one of the carriers. Instead of retiring to a nice air conditioned museum they'll be roughing it out in the desert...

It's just impressive getting to be in the vicinity of the two of them.

The Orbiter/SCA combo gets about 125 feet/gallon!

I'm happy to be at USC - it's literally coming to rest right across the street from me! While I won't really see any flyovers, I'll get to see it being transported to the Science Center right outside my window!
