And not just because it's carrying our beloved cargo!

Just look at how the sun is eclipsed perfectly by that tuft of plume!

Great looking picture CLJ and the crew will soon be able to see some outta-is-world entertainment.

Of course, there are other great images from the Space Shuttle era, and they've all been collected by this individual...

Sorry Darkfly it was a cut and paste job. Had to reduce Serenity down so that it would fit on the launch pad. I'm afraid the picture wouldn't get any better or clearer if I enlarged it. Just wanted to convey the idea of our Serenitys finally heading up to orbit.
