Space Center Houston | The Big Move

Space Center Houston | The Big Move

I remember seeing this thing in the parking lot there awhile back.  I knew it couldn't be the real ones that flew.  Turns out that this is only a replica.

There's plans to move a 747 and sit it on top like they did when the Shuttle was moved.  That's what this news item is all about.

This all reminds me of the time that the Challenger came to Houston after it was to go on its maiden voyage in 1983.  I went there.

The loss of the Challenger in 1986 was keenly felt by yours truly.  It was like a death in the family.
