:wave: Hello,
Last night we send a communication satellite with a help of Space Shuttle of NASA. You can see below some photos of this last expedition... or better, I must say...
Years ago I had a idea to build this "Space Shuttel", now my dream is a reality and I´m happy to show you a result of my imagination. I hope you like. Space and aeronautic are two themes I realy like :icon_biggrin:
And of course... ejem... greetings from Houston :lol: ,
TJ
