Well since no one is really that interested in my pictures Im just gonna post this last one of the shuttle simulators. If you change your mind, I have a few more pics of the Apollo MCC and various rockets (including the Saturn V)

This is the Motion Base Simulator, the whole thing moves, and it moves into a full 90 degrees straight up to simulate launch

This is the Fixed Base Simulator, it doesnt move but still simulates the shuttle.

Me in the cockpit of the shuttle simulator, very cramped, yet very cool (unfortunately the crew of the next mission was coming in to sim a few minutes after we were there so we only got a brief look and we didnt get to fly...). Theres a whole nother room dedicated to running the thing

A wider view of the cockpit, sorry for the quality, but really I had a second to snap before we had to move on, this shows how cramped and complex it is

This is how it moves, very complex

Finally, a picture of me and Astronaut James Kelly, my teammates father. He was pilot on STS-114, the return to flight mission. Really nice guy.

Hope youve enjoyed the pics, comments/questions welcome

thats pretty cool....you might have seen my godmother she is the commander of the flight after the one coming up her name is Pamela Melroy or Pam.....the shuttle simulator is a blast to bad you didn't get to fly it....looks like you had fun though
