      Beautiful shot! I LOVE how the birds always wheel about! I am sure the sound affects them as it does us!! Great capture of history- sad to think our Shuttle days are over . . .

      As I listen to the theme from Moonraker, I sit and think about all the progress that humanity has made, from fire and the wheel to rockets and the Internet. While no time in human history is perfect, and I'm sure the future holds things that I can't imagine now...I'm glad to live in this day and age.

      Very nice shot! ... but so sad.
      (with respect:) The US Gov. should think about their decision to stop such important research. You will perhaps never be number one of the world in space flight again!
      NASA, this is for you: think about it

      great capture of the launch. I missed one while I was onboard a cruise ship departing Port Canaveral. I saw the column of smoke left afterwards
