LA life / Space shuttle
Some interesting photos coming out of LA as they move the shuttle from LAX to its new home. A logistical nightmare with some amusing side effects: The plan: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e...74/route_1.jpg Of course you recognize this sign from driving school: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e...move-again.jpg Of course everyone has to take a snapshot: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e.../74/camera.jpg A little perspective is nice: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e...s/74/delay.jpg Some guys can't keep their shadows out: http://latimesphoto.files.wordpress....ttle_d2_29.jpg No plan ever survives execution: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e...ht-squeeze.jpg New highway standards are needed: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e...orum-photo.jpg "Keeping up with the Jones's is getting a bit out of hand." http://latimesphoto.files.wordpress....ttle_d2_24.jpg Watch for predators: http://latimesphoto.files.wordpress....ttle_d2_25.jpg Nuthin' special: http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e...4/traymond.jpg All of the above from the LA Times (Watch for the Toyota advert as at one point a Toyota Tundra was used to tow the shuttle for a short segment over a highway...) http://timelines.latimes.com/media/e.../endeavour.jpg -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

(Btw, it arrived at its new home an hour or so ago.) Here is a link to a small website I put up. The second page is mostly detail reference shots for model builders. In the last picture of the first page, you can see me shooting the landing. I'm fourth from the right. http://home.roadrunner.com/~laxet3/ -- Dale G Elhardt AG6MA Cypress Ca I welcome change.

I've often wondered what it must feel like to fly a 747 with that beast on its back. I'd think that a plane that top-heavy would flip over at the slightest erroneous tweak of the roll angle. I suppose what you have to do is fly the entire trip on autopilot and hope like hell that the programmers got it right. Loading the plane with extra weight might increase stability, but then how would you get it off the ground? One hopes that the next generation of spaceships will be able to take off as well as land. Is it a pipe dream that the shuttle's wings themselves may contribute to roll resistance, at least in level flight? An aeronautical engineer I'm not, obviously. Bob |

Now, it's "hat-in-hand" begging to the Russians to launch American astronauts. I never thought I'd see this day come... |
