Space Shuttle Reunited With Piggyback Plane

Space Center Houston in Texas unveiled an exhibit featuring one of two powerful Boeing 747s NASA used to piggyback space shuttles. Once upon a time, airplanes regularly took off and landed with 83-ton spaceships on their backs after flying thousands of miles. The museum is throwing a huge party for this 747, including astronauts, skydivers and fireworks. The bonanza will happen at Independence Plaza, where a replica space shuttle called Independence sits on top of the airplane. Visitors will be able to go inside both the 747 and the Independence to explore exhibits and artifacts from the space shuttle era. http://rss.cnn.com/c/35494/f/676999/s/4d14c8b0/sc/32/l/0L0Scnn0N0C20A160C0A10C230Caviation0Cspace0Eshuttle0E7470Eexhibit0Efeat0Cindex0Bhtml0Deref0Frss0Ius/story01.htm http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Business using http://wochit.com
