The iconic rocket and saucer may not make the move to Skycraft’s new location, so I had to capture this Winter Park classic before it was too late. The streak in the background is the SpaceX ISS Resupply mission launching.

One of the greatest stores. I love going there, how can they not take the sign!

They could use it behind the sales desk or something. Classic!

Why would you need space for a rocket?

...oh

Too many people trying to use it as a base when the nearby drive-in is clearly a better location.

Move? Ahh I had no idea they were gonna move stores, were else will I get my goofy lights?

Fortunately it is moving just down the street!

Why are they moving?

More space!

And I-4 construction is killing his business.

Brilliantly framed!

They have all the weird shit you need for that one thing you’re doing

Glad I saw this post, I didn't know that they were moving. I would have thought that they went out of business.

Coolest store in Orlando.

Coolest place. Not even Disney touches it.

This reminds of Pizza Planet from Toy Story.

Amazing photograph!

I'm a native Orlandoan, this made me VERY happy! That place has been there forever!

I’ve never heard the proper term for a person that lives in Orlando and I just can’t imagine anything that would roll off the tongue well.

Every time I go to Orlando, I spend hours in that place!

My favorite electric surplus store on the planet. I've scraped a few thing out of there in my Orlando days. Wish it was on the West Coast.

I drive by here all the time! Nice way to photo it!

I loved going there with my grandpa when I was a young. It was the coolest store I've ever been in. So many neat and interesting things.

Aw man! The memories of buying all kinds of cool surplus are coming back

What a fucking fantastic photo! Any prints available??

Thanks! Shoot me an email - prints@stevenmadow.com

Is this a Red Rocket before the war?

ROCKET 69, ROCKETTT siXTY NINE!!!

This is an amazing picture

Been here many times! We used to stop every time we had to work at the cancer center just down the street.

Very nice juxtaposition and composition!

Super nice shot, congrats! I miss Orlando... Lived in that nhood for years.

This was my favorite place to visit for all my Arduino projects! I recently moved away from the winter Park FL area and I'm definitely gonna miss that place. I was hoping to pick up one of the giant pleican type boxes they have outside before the move but I was unable to :(

This is amazing.

The retro past

More like the retro future.

Reminds me of Fallout 4!

Absolutely fucking amazing shot!!!

Stunning. Do you sell prints?

Thanks! You can email me at prints@stevenmadow.com

Thanks, will do.

Whats with the Elon circle jerk on this sub lately?

I love how surplus stores have convinced millions that an external fuel tank is a missile...

edit: downvoted by people that thought it was a missile.
