The Space Shuttle Atlantis reached its final destination on Friday – ‘Spaceport USA’ – following a 10 mile trek from the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Bittersweet to see these marvels of flight and engineering de-commissioned and retired.  Countless memories echo through this spaceship…and the hope of even greater wonders to come… 

Thank you, NASA for inspiring a generation of dreamers.  

Thank you to everyone that ever worked on, in, and around these incredible machines.  Blastoff like a rocket?  Orbit the Earth like a Spaceship?  Land like a glider?  That’s pretty crazy…pretty bold…pretty audacious!  Thank you for making it happen in our lifetime, right before our eyes.

The dreams that we dare to dream really do come true…  

Well done, Atlantis…well done…
