Outstanding POV, is that one of the seats in the center?
Ken Thomas replied
Thanks Syd, yes it’s the main center seat. The interior was well lit and in perfect condition. The outside was “as is” and well worn!! The whole capsule is hanging about 5 feet above my head so I used the flip out LCD and braced the camera against my chest to prevent blur.
I spot metered the seat and got a tac sharp photo!!!

I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a little girl. I did get to serve as a support team member so part of my dream came true. I also witnessed the launch of several shuttle flights at Cape Canaveral. Those were the days. xo

That is awesome!!! I would love to witness a shuttle launch.
