JUNE 1

Kemah, TX

Welcome to Johnson Space Center.
"Shuttlebration" is the name of the welcoming party. It started as the shuttle Explorer
entered the harbor at Kemah along with a large police escort.
The shuttle was moved from it's location in Florida, where it was used as a trainer.
Tonight it docks in Clear Lake with fireworks scheduled between 9 and 10pm.
There are no public events scheduled for Saturday because the entire day will be taken up transferring the shuttle
from the barge to a special vehicle that will carry it down NASA Road One Sunday morning.
The shuttle will be on the move again at 5:30am Sunday, and the public is invited for that event, and a parade at Space Center Houston.

Super capture of this high tech shuttle. I like it juxtaposed with the less high tech boat and the energy provided by the wakes. V.

A terrific image with the boat in the foreground. We owe so much to these pioneers. V
