My brother-in-law sent me these, last photos of the shuttle cockpit powered up. He was head of QA for the tiles (not the glue!). He also got to work on the Hubble space telescope. Very cool, I think, very cool. I used to have one of those tiles until someone stole it from my office:
Here is one final picture of the cockpit with everything powered on for one last picture before the electronics and secret stuff were pulled out/removed. Additionally, the last commander ordered erased all the flight deck graffiti signed by all the crews over 25 missions.
Several photos display all the graffiti within the Shuttle

So if they took all the stuff out, what was put in its place for the museum show? Wonder why the graffiti was erased since its part of the journey from the various crews?
