The shuttle launches got so commonplace here, a lot of people did not even bother to look up anymore...but they are cetainly missed by most Floridians. What a wonderful accomplishment the Space Shuttle program was. So sad the era has ended.

So you got a photo of it, too. I wonder what its flight itinerary was. And, I wonder what comes next. Or, if that's the end of space exploration? And NASA? Keep up the good work. :-)

Great shot of this historic last flight. Many years ago, I was attending a conference in Orlando & found out that a shuttle launch was scheduled during my stay. A colleague & I played hookey from the conference that morning, drove out to the Kennedy Space Center & watched the launch. It was an awesome, unforgettable experience, though unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me...

Amazing how they strap that onto a 747 like that, one would think it was not strong enough to cope with the g's Excellent shot

Fantastic capture! It's amazing the 747 can get off the ground with the shuttle on it, it's not like the shuttle is all the aerodynamic. They say it's like trying to fly a brick. ;D
