ORBITAL HUMOR

Ars Technica has a video up on their page which shows the movement of the Space Shuttle Transport System Transport (STS) Aircraft as it moves from the airfield to the Houston Space Museum. The video is interesting to people like me. I wondered at the puckish humor painted on the 747. Snapshots from the short video below:

That vid was fascinating. Space Center Houston is a pretty cool place; you could spend weeks there if you had the time and the inclination. I made do with a couple o' days.
