If it deals with astronomy, space or anything else related to off Earth... post it here.

Here's an image I found of various missions.

I love space! I find it so fascinating and bizarre. I am visiting some family in Washington DC right now and went to the National Air and Space Museum yesterday. I saw the IMAX Hubble 3D presentation over there and it was incredible. If you are even slightly interested in space, I would highly recommend watching it.

Did you get to the other Air and Space Museum out by Dulles? I am right down the street from there... and ironically, have never been to that one.

I've been there several times.. They have an SR-71, which I've seen before on the Intrepid in NYC but I can't get enough of that plane. The space shuttle they have on exhibit was used for training and never actually went into space.. I like the fact that museum is in set in a hangar, but they need to expand it as there's not enough there imho...

Amen. The Blackbird is the greatest plane ever built. In college I had friends interview with Lockheed and I would tell them to ask the interviewers about the Skunk Works.

I agree that they need to expand the Dulles hangar. They have so much stuff (and such huge items like the Blackbird and the Shuttle) that it makes the hangar seem kind of small.

No, only went to the downtown DC one.

Thread is awesome as I expected.

The astronomy picture of the day link for anyone who doesn't have it. I check this out every morning, it's awesome. Check the archives to have your mind blown.
