| Discovery lands, through a local's eyes Cocoa Beach, FL December 2019 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
This hotel was in Cocoa Beach, Florida, just down the road from where rockets - and human beings - leave the planet. Space flight is embedded in the DNA of everyone who lives here. Heck, they even call this place the Space Coast.
So to no one's surprise, there was a delightfully diverse assortment of space artifacts and decorations scattered around the lobby, including this rather insane shot of Discovery on final approach to the Shuttle Landing Facility. If you look closely, you can see the air data probes deployed on either side of the nose. Neat.
Locals see the most incredible things. And they take wonderful photos of experiences now consigned to history.
And for what it's worth, those memories deserve to be preserved. The folks who preserve them deserve to be thanked.
