The Shuttle Launch, as seen from the (ISS) International Space Station. The Space Station happened to be passing by when the Shuttle launched September 9,2006. Two amazing photos. |

The photos were not taken from the Space Station. They were taken from a WB-57 chase plane. The camera was developed by Jacobs Engineering for NASA-MSFC [Marshall Space Flight Center].

Wow, look at that launch signature! Looks like Vandenburg, in beautiful downtown Lompoc.

Oh man, it reminds me of my youth.
The Shuttle doesn't launch from Vandenbug. STS-115 (shown in these pictures) launched from Complex 39A at the Cape. The roll-over pict shows (from right to left) Complex 39B (Shuttle), Complex 41 (Atlas), Complex 40 (Titan) and Complex 37 (Delta IV).
Damn I love the web ... anyway the pictures are pretty grand. Now, how come nobody can tell me why I cant burn a DVD? :D
Am I the only one who sees something strange about the reflection in pic center (main, not roll-over). Damn if it don't look like the profile of somebody we all know and love so dearly. To me at least, and we finished the guinness a couple days ago!
.....Cue Twilight Zone music....
Hey Rodger. Don't know if it has to do with your situation with the DVD burn but I found out today that it mattters whether you need PLUS R or MINUS R in the blank DVD's.
thanks, but elementary
Hey "Shag"...You mean the ghostly,wispy,Jesus image? Heck I see thise all the time.
Try to visit your blog daily; it is my "Top 10".
Lately, your photos (car show, space pictures, etc.)ekgag show up as a streak across the bottom of a frame, and will NOT open.
HELP!

Only a democrat could look at that picture still believe *they* are bigger than life.
I don't know Juice. Not all arrogant, condescending, intellectually and morally superior canker blossoms are Democrats (although all liberals are, by definition).
Jesus??
Rats, I thought it was Yoda
