Notice the drill the gentlenaut on the left is holding.
(I've held a non-space rated one :D they really are that shiny)
Are you sad to see the US abandon its iconic (yet piled with baggage) transport vehicle? I think that the shuttle has a beautiful aspect that just isn't matched by the Saturn Vs. The external tank in itself is incredible! Just about 50% of the size, and that bright safety orange!
(did you know NASA has a very precise orange that it uses? I'm not sure if their Space Orange is the same hue as the ET, but I wouldn't be surprised xD)
Just like you should never wear a flag so that it looks like the colors are running from battle, you should never position shuttle art so that it is nose-down. Superstition surely, but who would want to risk it with such a large scale Endeavor?
