   and the other half of the room that I am looking at
   The bright doorway at the end currently leads to a 147 ft. drop off, but when the arm is swung into position, it connects with the side access hatch of the Shuttle.

   Here are some the details around the room, starting on the rightwith me in the middle, with the everyscape panorama-capture rig
   And then around the left

   must have been quite a thrill walking through here to the Shuttle for a launch! nicely captured.

   EveryScape has finished the stitching of my fisheye shots into a virtual tour. Before you start, remember to click the full screen button in the bottom right corner of the main image. Then you can click on the image and drag to look up down and all around. OK here is the VR version of this room.

   And here’s a flickr post showing what the input images looked like for the flight deck and links to the other areas.
