In memory of the crew of the Challenger on this sad anniversary. Too many photos depict the moment of explosion and the destruction. I like to think of her as in this photo, returning a crew safely to earth. RIP to the crew and those who have sacrificed in the exploration of the final frontier.

Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.

Is this Ellington Field in Houston? Because I know they mounted Space Shuttle Independence (NOT the one from Micheal Bay’s Armageddon) onto Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905 a few years back after they moved Explorer (NOT the one from Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity) to Houston and rechristened it with the name we all know today. Or this might just be one of the SCAs when they were very much in operation. This is still a cool picture.
One hell of a parking lot.
