RSS retraction, the best of the twitpics

Just over an hour ago the lucky #NASATweetup lot got to go right up to Launch Complex 39A to see the Rotating Service Structure reveal Space Shuttle Endeavour for the final time. Twitter was awash with pictures, so I thought i’d repost a couple of them.

Soon, that large structure will move and we'll see Endeavour… http://yfrog.com/gznlzrdrj
