Coming Home...

Postby Strawberry Yogurt » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:59 pm

Decided to do this because Discovery made her last voyage on Wednesday... Although the shuttle here is Atlantis!  ;D

Anyway, I love the space program we have and I'm upset we're dumping it - although newer, more efficient ways have been developed, the shuttle is extremely neat and fun to watch. Here's my edit, I hope you like it.  :)

:D
I went outside once. The graphics weren't all that great.

Thanks, both of you! I have a more edited version of the shot that looks 400 times better but it's like 8 MB... I would have to compress it A LOT!  ;D

You don't need a new thread, you can post the link here. It won't have any effect on the weight already here. You can post any number of shots as images as long as they are 1024 wide or less,
155kb max each, with a total of 650kb. Then you add links for others uploaded the same way but without the image tags.
For example purposes, I will use () instead of [].
(img)https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/uploads/1299893843.jpg(/img) which is your picture above. Then you would add the link by editing your first post or adding a new reply and put
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/uploads/123456.jpg

I remember way, way back in November of 1981 when the first one touched down after its first trip up. What a wonderful day for America. Just imagine how much we have learned from all these flights, both in terms of new technology and new knowledge. Amazing...

Okay, here we are... I gave patchz another one, for helping me out, and making me groan.

Thanks, guys, glad you liked them. I personally like edits because they enhance the photo and make them look TONS better.  ;) :) :o
