Re: Shuttle Launch

What kind of speeds are they making at that point? They can't be going too awfully fast, they're only 3 or 4 thousand feet in the air. Those are awesome pictures!

Re: Shuttle Launch

Thx Snapper,
Those were good pics. I will have to save them.
Maybe some archaeologist will find them on my computer in 40 or 50 thousand years

Re: Shuttle Launch

I've seen that thing in action on the Discovery Channel. At 1 mph you better not be in a hurry to go anywhere.

Re: Shuttle Launch

The space program is a gov. hoax. Anyone can, with the right software, produce an equally convincing image.
