Sweet. You sure the first one is a photo and not a 3d rendering? Looks like a rendering! Probably because of the bright constrasting light.

Explanation: Blasting into a dark night sky, the Space Shuttle Endeavour began its latest journey to orbit in the early morning hours of March 11. In this stunning picture following the launch, the glare from Endeavour's three main rocket engines and flanking solid fuel booster rockets illuminates the orbiter's tail section and the large, orange external fuel tank. Embarking on mission STS-123, Endeavour left Kennedy Space Center's pad 39A, ferrying a crew of seven astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). The cargo included the first section of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system. Astronauts will conduct a series of space walks to install the new equipment during the 16-day mission, the longest shuttle mission to the ISS.

This is just an assumption, but I think that first shot was taken with an iMax 20megapixle camera.

"Birds don't fly as high. Airplanes don't go as fast. The Statue of Liberty weighs less. No species other than human can even comprehend what is going on, nor could any human just a millennium ago. The launch of a rocket bound for space is an event that inspires awe and challenges description. The exhaust column pictured is from the Space Shuttle Endeavour after last week's night launch to visit the International Space Station. Endeavour's rocket engines create the dramatic glow from above the clouds. From a standing start, the two million kilogram rocket ship left to circle the Earth where the outside air is too thin to breathe and where there is little noticeable onboard gravity. Rockets bound for space are now launched from somewhere on Earth about once a week."

It's a cool picture. But goddamn what an astronomically inefficient use of resources.. and such a primitive means of travel to boot.

Sorry to be the negative voice in this thread.. I don't mean to rain on your parades. I just can't wait for alien technology.

I agree, but there's only things to be learned from mistakes, personally I think the private sector will advance us farther in the space frontier.

I agree. Let's just hope we're not stupid enough, to try and weaponize space.
Personally, I don't think our species is evolved enough yet to go exploring space, we don't deserve it. We can't even get along with each other. What makes us think we'll get along with the rest of the Universe and not try to kill them too?

Too late.

I'm glad it isn't your decision.

There is a huge difference between the Space Shuttle and exploring the Universe. We are in all likelihood hundreds or thousands of years from meaningful interstellar travel.

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus

Maybe so. But the weaponization of space is a bad, dumb move.
I'm all for exploring the universe, in peace. But we're a long way off, we haven't even left our own solar system yet.
It's a good thing too. Because as a species, we are not ready. We need to get shit sorted out on Earth first. Our priorities are all fucked up.
Anyway, I don't mean to derail this thread. Good pictures. I'll take my extremo opinions somewhere else.
