[cap­tion id=“attachment_5044” align=“aligncenter” width=“225” caption=“The shut­tle flies by the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty, as seen from Gov­er­nors Island.”][/​caption] This morn­ing, the Space Shut­tle Enter­prise took off from DC en route to New York City. The Space Shut­tle will even­tu­al­ly make a new home on the Intre­pid Sea, Air and Space Muse­um. Before it does though, New York­ers, and those of us on Gov­er­nors Island, got a great view! Here are some of our pic­tures.
