Here are some shots of Endeavour and Discovery from my trip earlier this week.  My film camera shots were awful and not worth sharing (including the shots of the actual ignition of Endeavour).  My digital camera also broke on the trip meaning I couldn’t take many shots.  But, I’ve got several hundred more shots to upload later from another camera.  I’ll share those later.

Here are some shots of the Orbiters that I could afford to get:
