When the Enterprise being wheeled out the band played the theme from Star Trek 1980 had to been SUPER cool

We went to the Intrepid museum right when they acquired the Enterprise shuttle in 2012. I didn't know that it was originally planned to be named Constitution for the bicentennial, but was renamed Enterprise after Star Trek fans wrote in to President Ford.

I asked to touch Enterprise and,I was able to touch the landing gear I've been following the shuttle program since the beginning drop tests with Enterprise off the back of the 747 to thelast flight of Atlantis on STS 135 when I was at the Intrepid air and sea Museum I knew so much about the shuttle people were asking me questions about it I was in my glory when I first saw her I shed a tear and I realized how long I've been watching and studying the space shuttle it's a vehicle that has set records that will never be surpassed the space shuttles Legacy is permanently secured for all people to enjoy

Somehow I have started to like these shuttles despite two disasters. They are technically very fascinating and represents time when they have created.
