This is a duplicate image from last week the originals should have been posted individually and this is the correction. I didn’t want to lose the comments from last week.

I really like the series, you might be catching history here. I wonder how long it will be before launching again.

There are 2 launches left one in April and the other in June. Then the shuttle program is scheduled to end. Hopefully we will be able to see both.

That is just fantastic! Such a huge expanse of sky needed to contain the contrail (?). Wow, wow, wow……

Going, Going, Gone. It is truly a shame that these are the last missions. I have had the opportunity to meet some astronauts and Buzz Aldrin gave a very interesting speech on this subject. We now have to rely on the Russians to get to the space station.!

Wonderful image, brings back memories from when I watched a launch many years ago. I’d love to see another, but this is the next best thing!
