I saw it in the Smithsonian and was in awe, and like you, emotional.  I 
remember the landing as if it were last year (a bit faded than saying 
yesterday).  While In DC I also saw the Enterprise shuttle and was amazed. 
But it was seeing the battle worn Endeavor in Los Angeles a few years later 
that really got to me.  The Enterprise is so pristine, and the Endeavor 
shows the scars of a workhorse with an amazing story to tell.

Today was the last day this amazing, beautiful little spacecraft was in
Seattle, on loan from the Smithsonian.  I went to visit. I got very
emotional, remembering that historic week of 50 years ago.  My better
half didn't go, so I was forced to rely on the kindness of a fellow
visitor to get a shot of myself.  I set the camera, he followed
directions, and he did well.

More to come anon.  Olympus E-M5 and Panasonic 14/2.5.  Enjoy!
