Sam, is that the Hubble Space Telescope that the Space Shuttle orbiter is unloading from its cargo bay? When I worked at Jacobs Engineering, after I sold my company to it and got stuck with an employment agreement, my boss, who had been in charge of NASA Manned Space Flight, was personally responsible for enlarging the Shuttle cargo bay so that it could accommodate the Hubble. He was quite proud of that. Jacobs did a lot of work for NASA at the Cape and I did a lot of work out of their Lakeland, FL office. I got to see several Shuttle launches up close from the VIP reviewing stand.

Yes, it's the Hubble with the shuttle Discovery.
I never got the chance to see a shuttle take off, one of my great missed opportunities. I hope one day I can see a big rocket lift off.
I did get to see a SpaceX launch a couple years ago, but not the same as a shuttle or big rocket. Hopefully someday. Hoping Artemis gets off the ground (literally) sooner rather than later as I'll make sure to take the trip to see it fly.
