Hello friends,
on this memorable day, I too want to start into the year
2021 with fresh energy and finally overcome my holiday fatigue.
Unfortunately, the latest reports from the
KSC say that the demolition and scrapping of the
MLP-2 has been started there, as one can see in these photos, supposedly because the parking spaces are running out there.
That hurts me somehow, because this gigantic Shuttle vehicle has grown dear to my heart over the years of my project work.

Well, that's the sad fate of a veteran of the Shuttle program when, after 28 years and
49 Shuttle missions, it is no longer needed and thrown on the scrap heap ...
Even if the originals gradually disappear, but on the other hand, it's motivating me even more to immortalize
MLP-2 as part of my
Launch Pad Diorama and to keep it in dignified memory.
