when was it originally produced? how many copies were made?

 

ok. please send me one and tell me how i should pay you.
thanks

 

Just $29.95?! Absolutely I will take one.

 

I'll take the third if it is for sale.

 

*salute*

I just wanted to say how nice that is......

I get to go pick up my NASA stuff today (checks from Ducati accident finally coming in) and I will post them up.
Salute to all the brave crews, of the shuttle project.

Looks like you sold them all!!

 

These are great. I got a set of three posters of the shuttles “Going to Work in Space” back in the 80s. Still have two framed and lost track of the third. No idea where I lost it... or maybe it’s still rolled up somewhere. The two are hanging in my office.

 

So no more?

 

I got mine back from the framer this week, it came out fantastic!

 

Any more? I have a lot of stuff that whas flown and would love to have this on my wall.

 

I think his three copies all sold......

 

There were some folks here at JSC Houston, that were miffed when we only got the "mock up" to display on top of the jet carrier, in the Rocket Yard.

They even managed to hit a bridge in the Ship Channel, IIRC, bringing it in on a barge.

I told them:
"Well, actually Texas DID get a real one, it starts east of Dallas, and it's scattered all the way to Lufkin!!"

*rocks thrown, shoes, ...........ducking*

It actually looks fine, perched up there.
Ten out of ten visitors to Space Center Houston don't know the difference.

 

I drive by most days. It looks great on the back of the plane. I'm told people are kept away from the real ones for safety reasons, but the practice one this is not the case. It all works out.
I remember when they brought it up the street on the closed road and installed, quite an event.

 

I will. It may be awhile. I got it for my Dad for Father's Day. He was USAF and his last assignment was Embry Riddle in Daytona. He was in the USAF ROTC detachment there. He took many cadets to see shuttle launches, I tagged along once. We were in an alternate mission control they told me they could actually blow the shuttle up from that one. He will love this. It's all wrapped up from the framers next time I see him I will post a pic here.

I saw Discovery at Udvar-Hazy a few years ago. It was disappointing to hear that they completely stripped out the interior before putting it on display. It would have been interesting to look inside.

 

Lots of gold plating in the electricals, they are salvaging out tax dollars!
