I visited this exhibit recently, first class experience. The shuttle is enormous, it was my first time seeing on up close!

Yes its quite interesting to see this close.

 

I have other pics of the trailing edges of the wings too, they do not taper to a fine edge like an aircraft, something I never realized either.
