Atlantis is now on display at Kennedy Space Center. The exhibit with it is very cool to experience. The shuttle is somehow both larger and smaller than I was expecting.

I saw the exhibit and got a little bit emotional if I’m honest when it was revealed near the start of the show.

Partly because of the sheer scale of it right in front of you, but because of where it’s been and how much human ingenuity, experience, and hope was put into it to make it work.

Great stuff. Well worth going to if you’re ever at Kennedy Space Centre Center (man that feels weird).
