Very cool and unique shot, especially considering the recent last launch and recovery marking the end of the Shuttle Program :'( :'(

Out of curiosity....where did you find the space station model?

Great shot and great tribute!  :)
I only saw the shuttle go up once in person, and it was at night a good distance away, but it was cool and I'm glad I got to see it myself at all.
Now that it's over, I can't wait 'till Discovery is in the NASM; I'm hoping to see it as soon as they put it on display!

Yeah I'm going to miss the shuttle Ive been seeing them launch since I was in elementary school. The thing Im going to miss the most will be the double sonic boom when it comes into land though

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
