• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Wow I love them, especially the first shot. It's like it's out of some scifi movie:applause::applause:. They would be even more striking without the frames.
 
Nice P.

Thanks for sharing.

Thats something else I'll have to do one day while I'm down here.
 
Dramatic pics!
I'm about halfway through reading Riding Rockets by Mike Mullane, an ex-F-4 backseater who was on Discovery's maiden flight STS-41D.
Great read, and brilliant insight into the Shuttle astronaut corps.
 
Wow, Cool pictures,

I can't get cool pictures like that. My camera is not cooperating. I don't know how to tame it! :icon_lol:

I saved all of them, Thanks for sharing Panther!
