Endeavor Onward

[lferion]

A little bit ago (11:15 or thereabouts, Arizona time) the Shuttle Endeavour flew over Tucson, on her way to her new home on the ground. The flight path was arranged to honor Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly (Kelly was her last pilot). I'm on Ron Barber's broadcast email list, and I just happened to see the note about it, at 11:12, so I was able to run

The poem is lovely, and the picture made me tear up. She's magnificent, isn't she? The last of one thing. And hopefully there will be the beginning of something new.

Thank you. She really is magnificent, and I am in fact still choked up and teary. I'm so glad I didn't miss seeing her.

The last of one thing - that's a beautiful way to put it. And the fact that SpaceX's Dragon is a new thing in the world does make it easier to deal with the ending of this one.

Oh, that's beautiful - the poem. And the photo in a different way. Thanks for sharing. :-)

You are very welcome. Even though I am still all teary over it, I am so glad I didn't miss it.

Thank you.

May I repost your poem?

Re: Thank you.

[lferion]

Certainly you may. I am glad it spoke to you.
