There’s a tradition at the Kennedy Space Center that before each launch a ‘Mission Banner’ is signed by folk working there. Then the signed banner is hung on the launch pad. ‘Atlantis’ is the orbiter next to fly, and this one has a very special banner!
Our friend Tim Kozusko, who works at the Space Center has sent in this really cool tribute to Syd.
The Atlantis banner has been signed by the folk working there, and Tim grabbed this shot in the lobby.
Just under the letter ‘N’ Tim has written his tribute to Syd
‘Shine On Syd’
The banner can be seen on the launch pad
A closer shot of the banner.
Our thanks go to Tim Kozusko for this truly unique tribute to Syd, and for sharing these photos with us.
