A friend took this video of the Endeavour this morning on it's last voyage heading South to its resting place. I wish I could have gone down there to bid it farewell but had to wait for UPS to deliver a Moots.
Here is Bob Skinner's video and in his own words.
It came in flying low over San Francisco, the attached video shows it flying west over the Golden Gate Bridge. From here it headed south down the coast, made a pass over NASA Ames in Mountain View (45 miles south of SF), then flew on down to Los Angeles. It will soon be placed in a special museum down there. This is the last of the shuttles to be permanently retired. And the end of a great period in American space history.
When you see my 61 second, 10 MB attached video, you will know exactly why I never went into movie-making.
Bob Skinner was the videographer.
