When I first heard that McMinnville Oregon's Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum was one part aviation history museum, one part military vehicle and firearms

Weird and wild experiments will make their way to the International Space Station on March 22's cargo launch.
Swiss Space Systems says the system will be a far cheaper way to launch satellites - and says it can sell launches for £7m, around a quarter of the price currently charged.

After repairs to the ET, she is ready to go out to the pad tomorrow. The Space Shuttle stack's (orbiter + external tank + 2 solid rocket boosters) height: 56.14 m (184.2 feet) tall. It sits on the mobile launch platform (MLP) which is 7.6 m (25 feet) tall. The MLP rest on the crawler transporter which is approx. 6.1 m (20 feet) tall. Total height = 69.84 m (223.13 feet = approx. 22 floors). Looking down upon her from almost 400 feet = PRICELESS! - Photo taken at Kennedy Space Center [OFF AIRPORT] in Florida, USA on January 31, 2011.
A look into the engine compartment of the world youngest and newest space shuttle orbiter which has only 25 mission on its logbook. The titanium backbone that the space shuttle main engines (SSME) attach to can be clearly seen. The big round circles are the valves through which the liquid H2 and liquid O2 feed into the turbopumps on the engines. The green arms with the titanium extensions are the actuators that carry out the nozzle movement enabling the gimballing needed for thrust vectoring for ascent. - Photo taken at Kennedy Space Center [OFF AIRPORT] in Florida, USA on March 9, 2012.
Many photographers flocked in front of the Launch Pad 39B to watch the service structure rolled away from Discovery at 6:00 pm on June 30, 2006. Despite the fact that the Discovery was not illuminated by the cocktail lights while we were allowed to be there, it was truly a breathtaking moment. As the initial launch attempt in the following day had been scrubbed because of the weather, it finally had hurtled into orbit on July 4 -- the first Fourth of July Launch attempt in NASA's history. - Photo taken at Kennedy Space Center [OFF AIRPORT] in Florida, USA on June 30, 2006.
If one had an opportunity fly in formation with a space shuttle orbiter in the Earth's atmosphere, it would look like this. I purposely chose to have Earth background so that a sense of scale and depth can be gleaned. With commander Charles Hobaugh at the controls, "Atlantis" executed a sweeping right overhead turn to lose altitude and speed to line up for landing. The two sonic booms heralding the arrival in Florida occurred just prior. Welcome home "Atlantis"! Dear President Obama, Please keep them flying! - Photo taken at In Flight in Florida, USA on November 27, 2009.
TOUCHDOWN! The Shuttle Discovery is home for the last time, ending mission STS-133 and heading for the Smithsonian. It would mark the final daytime landing of the space shuttle program. - Photo taken at Titusville - NASA Shuttle Landing Facility (TTS) in Florida, USA on March 9, 2011.
Discovery sits on Pad 39A the eve before its launch on mission STS-120. - Photo taken at Kennedy Space Center [OFF AIRPORT] in Florida, USA on October 22, 2007.
Space Shuttle Atlantis sits on LC-39A for perhaps the last time. She is being prepared for the upcoming STS-132 mission to the ISS. Post mission, she may get the nod for one more mission because of need and availablity of one last External Tank. If you notice the stencil "Loaded" on the solid rocket booster segments indicating their payload. The nose cones of each hold the parachutes that deploy to return them to Earth for refurbishment. These segments are recycled unlike the External Tank which burns. - Photo taken at Kennedy Space Center [OFF AIRPORT] in Florida, USA on April 22, 2010.
Nose Gear Touchdown at 9:14:53 a.m. EDT. Commander Lindsey and Pilot Mike Kelly work in the cockpit to bring Discovery to a "wheels stop" at 9:15:49 a.m. EDT. "Wheels stopped, Houston," Lindsey radioed mission control [Canon 1Ds MkII;600mm f/4 IS L;ISO 400;1/1000] - Photo taken at Titusville - NASA Shuttle Landing Facility (TTS) in Florida, USA on July 17, 2006.
