Man, I never expected a burn this big in a engineering channel, I loved all the engineering parts but I can't ignore this, it's too good.

My kids were in elementary school right across the street from one of the stops during this journey. It was an amazing day for all of the kids and parents. The school had field trips across the street to visit the shuttle. Not sure how much instruction happened that day, but I remember we had weeks of conversations about space, engineering, and other related subjects following the experience. Definitely one of those days that lives strongly in your memory and will for the rest of your life. Thanks for revisiting this trip, Grady!

I worked several Space Shuttle Missions in Houston as a back room flight controller. The planning efforts that went into those missions were Herculean. Some great memories, and some painful ones, too. Houston didn’t get a real orbiter, but got the SCA. The trip to move that from Ellington field to Space Center Houston was another amazing project.

Great video as always! I have to admit it was a little emotional for me. I've loved the Space Shuttle since I was a small kid in the 80's and wanted to be an Astronaut because of it. It's great to see there being retired and people can still see them. FYI, I didn't become an Astronaut, but it did lead me down a road of Engineering and Science.

I was able to see Discovery when it landed at Dulles Airport for final display in the Air and Space Museum. Fortunately for Discovery, the museum has a taxiway from the airport. There was a period of time where Discovery was nose to nose with Enterprise, before Enterprise was moved to the Intrepid in NYC.

As a Belgian, I'm proud by association that local (10 miles from my house) contractor Sarens (with its cranes and SPMTs in that typical blue color) got to do the project. I've seen them in action in my area several times, for lifting things to the top of high buildings and moving bridges into place.
