Saturn V Rocket at Space Center Houston

A few visual highlights of the Saturn V Rocket at Space Center Houston in Texas.

Space Shuttle Endeavour in Los Angeles, California

Currently on display in the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, California - Space Shuttle Endeavour was the fifth and final operational shuttle built by NASA. Between 1992 to 2011, Space Shuttle Endeavour spent a total of 296 days, 3 hours, 34 minutes, and 2 seconds in space over the course of 25 missions.

Seeing a space shuttle up close is pretty awe-inspiring. Endeavour still wears the damage from her final re-entry through the Earth's atmosphere, which only further emphasizes the reality of standing in the same room with something that has left our planet and come back again. It's not only a technological marvel, but with the shuttle program now retired, Endeavour is symbolic of a prolific and bygone era in space travel and exploration.

Lombard Street in San Francisco, California

Also known as "that famous winding road", Lombard Street is an iconic attraction in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Bustling with tourists and cars lined up at the top waiting to make the drive down, Lombard Street is not always as tranquil as the postcards make it look. That being said, a little chaos sometimes makes the experience.
