Oh yeah ... like all the geeks that spent their Saturday with an eye on NASA TV, my jaw dropped when I saw the 8s preview that was show during a press conference Saturday afternoon ... That screen capture here doesn't totaly do justice to the grandness of the video taken by a camera located at the bottom of the booster. Now, if they had some high-res digital camera located on the same spot, that'll be some terrific images (perfect for desktop background) :-) Speaking of imagery, be sure to check out the mission imagery pages (as well as the ISS exp. 13 collection) ... there's some good stuff on both .. however, NASA isn't particualy fast at updating them ... :-|A personal chronicle on learning Astronomy and spaceflight mechanics through the use of a (free) spaceflight simulator, a couple of astronomy books and the ubiquitous Internet.
