ENDEVOUR: Shuttle to Success 🚀🛰🌎

NASA (National AeroSpace & Aeronautics) Artemis 1 mission is reigniting my liking for my all time favourite spacecraft, the Endevour Space Shuttle Orbiter 😺 Endevour Space Shuttle Orbiter is the youngest one. The Space Shuttle Orbiter is part of the STS (Space Transport System) Sadly, Endevour launch for the final time 😿 the second last Space Shuttle mission, STS-134, on May 16 2010. Endevour is now 'resting' at California Science Centre 😴 Rest well Endevour, we will miss your action 😔 but always remember your significance 📰📖💽 in my life!
