For anyone with an interest in spaceflight, there are few places more exciting than the Smithsonian air and Space museum. The guardians of the greatest symbols of America's exploration of space and aviation prowess. Below are images from both the Mall and Udvar-hazy Centers. I quickly realised it would be difficult to create meaningful photographs of the entire objects on display. Instead, i chose to focus on specific details one can only experience by being there in person. Battle scars on Space Shuttle Discovery, the play of the display lights on the vehicle's skin, or the personal touches of a crew. Have a scroll, and get to know these vehicles a little better.
