Here's Atlantis, heading off on STS-43 (8/2/91)...





I would be really happy if someone could explain this pic to me. From the angle... I would say whoever took this amazing picture was vaporized into bits.
If it was a static mounted camera that's equally as cool...
I guess I'm just having trouble figuring out if it's real or not.

Hope you don't mind!

Ok...was I the only one who saw this picture of the shuttle damage and yelled "What was that? Did the primary buffer panel just fall off my gorram SHIP!?!?"



(Sending them wishes for a non-"interesting" return)

All the pics are great even the supposedly mock up pics of Serenity taking off, I still won't believe they are fakes no matter what people tell me

the mission continues to go well as the team works through the blanket repair options for procedures/tools and which EVA to perform the work on should be decided by the mission management team today. Swanny and Forrester are going for a spacewalk later today to continue work on the newly installed Truss and Solar Array Segment. Airlock egress is ~2 pm EDT.

Here's the new version!
The first used a generic pic that just seemed to have the right angle & lighting.
Found a better one of the actual STS-117 launch!
