The Launch

[Red Neck Biker]

This was prety neat of the launch back on December 9th this was taken from a few hundred miles away from JFK space center.








Go to: Although he was hundreds of miles away, Rick Ebrecht had a great view of space shuttle Discovery's rare nighttime launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on December 9. From his vantage point in Tybee Island, Georgia, he used a 30-second time-lapse exposure to capture the bright orange streak of light that appeared as the shuttle lifted off. He said the bright flare in the middle happened during the booster’s separation.

That is an awsome picture! I can't wait till this summer, Mrs.D, our daughter and I have a trip planned to Orlando and we found out that the same week the shuttle is planning on lifting off that Thursday!!! I hope there is not any delays! We are planning to get tickets and watch the lift off!!! If we do I hope to get some cool pictures myself!!!
