Night Launch

Last week, the space shuttle Endeavor made what is likely the last night launch for the shuttle program. An acquaintance from one of my online car clubs who lives in central Florida made the trek to the NASA causeway about 7 miles from the launch site to view the launch. He managed to get this spectacular 166-second exposure photograph of the launch itself:


I'm afraid it's looking more likely that I will never see a shuttle liftoff, much to my regret.

Hey, my father-in-law was there, as well! No cool photos though. That is one amazing shot!

Fabulous shot! Even if you never get to see an actual launch, a visit to the Kennedy Space Center is well worth whatever time you can give it.
