HAPPY VIEWING !!

NOW THIS IS 'GOING OUT FOR A STROLL !'

Thought I'd send these along too, while I'm up! Shots like these just knock me out! It's like watching "2010", where they're going over to the old spacecraft by way of that wire transporter, and they look down and see the surface of Jupiter.
Anyway, thought you'd like these.
Enjoy! ~ DaveKay

ATLANTIS LAUNCH

What I am passing along to you is
some captures of the launch of Atlantis yesterday (That would be Fri the 8th). I'm a space romantic, and get excited every time one goes up! ~ DaveKay

Seeing Earth from that point of view would certainly be an experience. And thanks to you, one we all get to see.

Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!

NOW THESE ARE COOL

Don't know where DaveKay got these, but they sure are cool.


Here we have a night time launch.


Shots from the International Space Station, taken during the docking of the shuttle Discovery Tues. afternoon.



The west coast of South America can be seen in one photo. These are from 220 miles above the earth.






Kinda puts everything in perspective...
