TAGGED: “T” FOR TRANSPORTATION
Transportation has come a long way since the Americas were discovered. From the landing of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria to carrying men on a space ship to a space station high above the planet Earth, America’s transportation system is reaching for the stars and beyond.
“We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly,
But let us never lost sight of the reason for the journey,
Or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.”

Transportation is great. Where is that pic of the space shuttle taken? I have a personal reason for asking?

Hi, Vastly Curious, The picture of the space shuttle Enterprise was taken in New York on June 16, 2012 while on a dinner cruise on the Hudson River. See my post on it here http://wp.me/p23TG1-TG for more information. Thanks for asking.

Okay , thats what I thought after I enlarged it. You see, the product that I represent was poured on the deck of The
USS INTREPID on 7/12/12. I was there all day and watched the humbling process when they lowered the space shuttle. My son filmed the Video! Please see Video attached to my next message. Smiles : )
