    I, for one, would love to see how that holds up outside in a Gulf powered hurricane.

    Probably as well as the rockets in the Rocket Garden at the Kennedy Space Center or the planes at the National Museum of Naval Aviation.

    It's peaceful now, but since we've been here more than once, let's not get angry or argumentative in this one, ok folks?

    If memory serves me correct, that's the mockup that was outside at KSC for years next to the boosters and other paraphernalia from the STS program, I'm sure she's capable of surviving outside, and with proper care she'll remain beautiful for years to come!

    Actually, that's north Texas. Houston's big worry is an over-zealous Cinco de Mayo celebration. XD

    Thankfully the shape of the Shuttle isn't exactly perfect for a sombrero to be made up and thrown on every May 5th!
