Shuttle Launch

STS-131 Launch
I went to see the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery in Florida a couple of weeks ago and am finally getting around to posting a few pictures. The actual launch happened just before dawn, so the it was mostly a big fireball in an otherwise dark sky, but it was awesome and my camera was able to pull out some dawn light a few minutes after launch (that’s Discovery in the photo above about 300 miles downrange from Cape Canaveral). The shuttle is scheduled to land back in Florida tomorrow morning, and with only three flights left I’m really glad I got to witness a launch before the shuttle program ends.
