I shot some photos of the Space Shuttle...
 

...on the streets of LA yesterday. Mostly shot on Crenshaw Blvd., though the last one was shot right outside the Baldwin Hills Mall at Crenshaw and MLK Blvd.

Brad

fuck yeah! dope!

Aren't you special

unique, not so many people took that photos :winkwink: thank for the share! :)

Some nice photos in this thread!

We saw it over our offices in San Fran!

So much enthusiasm there, cool!

Sweet man :D I saw one of the last take offs a couple years ago from that series of shuttle mmm feel :)

It's sad the Shuttle program got cancelled.

Nice pics. Must have been pretty cool to see it so close up...

Great pix, especially the last one. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent photographs!

My friend works for JPL and I had dinner with him Friday night. We talked alot about the shuttle and the program. He is really sad to see this all go due to none funding.

He told me about these engines... These here are fake. Rebuilt shells made buy him and his small team for the shuttle to be on display. He said that when they were done, they painted all three lite grey and then another guy was hired later on to airbrush them so they looked like they were used in space. He said "the airbrush guy did an amazing job" lol

Just a lil insider info for you if you ever go and see the shuttle on display - You can retell the story and look like a boss :thumbsup

This photo rocks!
Excellent shooting BD!

I love hearing stuff like that. Cool story!

very cool, I love this NASA stuff...too bad we spend so much money fighting each other rather than exploring our world and beyond

No,,, they are real! I saw them on TV. This is all just conspiracy theories:winkwink:

It calls my attention how much time it takes NASA to develop/create an alternate form of getting into space.

A close look at this thing is amazing :)

Here's the fly by... and a couple pics taken from our office windows.

Great shots. My boyfriend took his kids to see it. The areas they picked were very well selected for inspiration.

Thanks, just wish those damned poles were not in the way. :1orglaugh

I didnt get a chance this weekend to go see it but I used to see a lot of the challenger and have even seen it land at Edwards Air Force base back in the day. The last pic taken is pretty amazing. I can't wait til it's at the permanent home and the crowds have died down.

nice photos Marco and others.
i saw it coming down manchester blvd friday, it is quite large actually.

Well done, thanks

The decline of American Empire.

Nice photos

looking pretty cool :)

Cool photos - I thought Nasa took them out of use ?

It was a lot smaller than I thought. I remember seeing the Enterprise up close years ago. I was disappointed.

Did you specifically wait until it was passing behind the poles? :)

Nice info.

Awesome looking pix indeed

Genuinely cool story, bro

No, all I had to do was find a spot along the LAX runway that had some utility poles. After that, it was a piece of cake.
