I got to see the Space Shuttle!

I work on the Space Shuttle software, but I've never been able to see the shuttle in person- till now! On Dec. 11th Shuttle Endeavour, bolted atop a Boeing 747 carrier aircraft, passed over Houston and the Johnson Space Center on its way back to Florida. It landed in California this last mission, so it has to be brought back to Florida. They did a special low fly-over so that all the employees could see it! It was so neat-it flew by 3 times and once it went right over my head. I work in the red building there in the picture.
