Space Shuttle


The thrust generated by these engines is amazing. The 2 white tanks fall back to earth to be re-used. The huge orange tank burns up while falling back to earth. All 3 tanks just hold fuel.

It was rather sad as the staff told us that there was only one more shuttle trip planned and then it would be shut down. Russia will continue to travel to the space station.
