More Amazing Shuttle Pics
Just another set after Ser's wonderful post a few days ago.

Here is one of my favorites for a sample.

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing.
The shuttle itself is huge and one never thinks of the size of the equipment to handle it. It is truly amazing. I would love to see a lift off.
The awesome power it develops gives me goose bumps or as a friend says, “chicken skin”.
Amazing photos!! Thanks for sharing. I was awestuck by the sheer size and the technology that goes with it.
