We had such amazing luck today - we had heard on the news that Endeavour (the last ever shuttle) was having its last flight today (piggy backed on a Jumbo) flying over Houston before being put on display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles but when we arrived for a visit to Houston Mission Control Space Center we were told that it had landed at Ellington Air Force Base, a few miles north and that it was open to the public until 9pm that evening.

So we joined the thousands of people who walked miles to get into the base and we were so glad that we did. We were surprised that we were allowed to get so near to it. An amazing experience.
