Re: Endeavour being moved.

Saw it make a pass over LAX a few minutes ago from a nice air-conditioned conference room. No cameras allowed though

Re: Endeavour being moved.

About an hour ago, it passed over my school. Didn't hear about it though until the next period. Darn!

Re: Endeavour being moved.

Got to see the final approach. The actual landing was "behind" a building from where I was. Strange, I got to see the first flight of the shuttle program when Enterprise made it's first drop test. Now I got to see the last landing. Those two events bracket much of my career.

Re: Endeavour being moved.

Maybe didn't get as good a view as the Robonauts... but a flyby our school was pretty cool. And at lunch so everyone saw.

Re: Endeavour being moved.

Here's a photo of some of us on the SpaceX roof as we get our own Endeavor fly by (I'm the grey-haired guy on the left):

Re: Endeavour being moved.

I was across the street from SpaceX in the parking lot of a home improvement store. Got pictures from 3/4 flybys... including the landing one and one that went down to about 200 ft over the runway; I'll have to go through and post some of them.

Edit: Pictures are up in CD-Media.

Re: Endeavour being moved.

My team and I were lucky enough to see it from our school We are very close to the Getty center so we saw it circle a few times during lunch, it was really cool. Thank you NASA for this amazing opportunity, the shuttles will be missed.

Re: Endeavour being moved.

Last year's robot,X-1, watched the takeoff of the SCA and Endeavour and hung out with aircraft at NASA Dryden. The shuttle directly flew over the Lancaster High School, home of Team 399.

Re: Endeavour being moved.

Here are two shots I took from right next to the runway at NASA Ames this morning. The second highlights the skeleton of Hangar One
