New #BugFriend just dropped! 😍
Look at this absolute unit, trucking along in the gentle rain with its shell all a-glistening. My favourite litle self-made homeowner-on-the-go. #Nature
😂 I almost spewed my tea. Someone woke up choosing violence today!
@MLClark I was always a little embarrassed when we took tour groups into the VAB, because we'd see workers standing around doing nothing, or shuffling along so slowly you couldn't tell they were moving. They were being paid to stand around; there was nothing for them to do, but their jobs were assured due to politics.
@MLClark Once upon a time ... Circa 2012. The orbiters were being processed for transfer to museums. We usually had one or two parked in the VAB.
🤔 Well by George (or by Charles, I suppose), who's that distinguished fellow up front, taking attention from the orbiter?
@MLClark Off to camera right is High Bay 4. If Atlantis was in the transfer file, then Endeavour probably was in HB-4. You stood under the left wing of Atlantis to view Endeavour. Those were fun times.
These are from the Launch Control Center tour around the same time, Firing Room 4, which was used for the last 20 Shuttle launches. Today it's the SpaceX launch control for 39A.
@MLClark I would love to have seen you do this job. You would have excelled at it. The story tellers were the best communicators.

🙂 Your pride and pleasure in the work radiate clearly in these photos!
