STS125 Atlantis as Seen from our Neighborhood

05/11/2009 9:12 PM

I added some pictures I took this afternoon to the thread at this link.

I know there are better pictures on the web, but this is what we get to see from our location in Florida.

Eight more missions to go with the Shuttle.

1 little flame going up in the air…so many things I do not understand about these space traveling "planes". Totally awesome though!

It's not that little. Remember, that orbiter is over 30 miles from where I am taking pictures.

Yup, that's a Florida bug.

Bugs get so big down here and one of them landed at Patrick Air Base last week. The ground crew had it halfway down the taxiway before they noticed the wing markings were wrong.

Nice work Hero!!

I add in lighter vein:

Once an aeroplane asked a rocket - How can you travel so fast?

You will too, when your tail is on fire - replied the rocket
