The Shuttle is Coming! - Part 1

Picture of the Day for 11/2/2012. The Kennedy Space Center hosted several festivities to celebrate the space shuttle Atlantis' "rollover" to its new home at the visitor center complex today. I was able to snag a ticket out to Exploration Park (located on the grounds of the Kennedy Space Center) where there were dignitaries, speakers, and exhibitors in attendance. The main attraction was seeing Atlantis' arrival at the park where it remained for a couple of hours so the public could get a close-up view of the shuttle. By sheer accident, I happened to be in a great location to view the proceedings. One of the shuttle wings passed by directly overhead and I just about had a nerd fit of ecstasy over that.
