I am not sure who would be interested in viewing these pictures but I had the tremendous honor of being escorted by a friend who works at Kennedy Space Center in late February as a mission specialist around Endeavor, the tower, the waiting room, the walk out ramp, and a number of other area's of KSC.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity that will never happen again with the shuttles being retired. I am just getting around to loading up some of the photos and wanted to share them here.
Enjoy!

I have to be honest...I about pissed my pants in fear being up there. It is so enormous it swallows you up.

Thanks for sharing. In spite of its flaws and age, it is still some of the most inspiring technology in existence.
I wonder how being close to the Apollo rockets would have compared. I've seen the real ones horizontal on the ground. Honestly, I thought they would have been larger.
