The Endeavour ready for liftoff (STS-99)- it didn't leave until a few weeks after this photo- taken
from the LC 39 Observation Gantry on the tour. The gantry is about a mile away from the
pads- I have a 200 zoom and it was max for this shot.
As you've probably already learned from my Captain Cook page, an earlier ship named Endeavour
was also famous for exploration.
