Atlantis.

[kv0925]

Just one from this past weekend. This is the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis, retired to her very cool new home at the Kennedy Space Center visitor complex. After a first introductory movie about the development of the Space Shuttle program, you walk into a room where a second film about Atlantis' exploits is projected on a screen in front of you, then a curtain goes up behind the screen so it becomes a scrim, and you find yourself looking at the orbiter through a projected field of stars and it looks like it's hanging there in space. It's really a very nice effect, glad I knew to expect it so I could grab a shot. Not a bad job eyeballing the manual settings, too, if I do say so myself!

Someday, I am going to visit more than just the Tampa and Orlando areas. This looks really cool.

That looks so awesome. Is there a lot of stuff to see at the visitor complex? I've been thinking about taking a trip to Orlando with a friend and we were thinking it might be cool to do something outside of Orlando one day.
