   The tripod is for another rocket, right? ;-/ ??? Cool shot. I see what you mean about the ratio.

   Observing rocketry…, this footage was interesting:

   yes, an unusual perspective. I wish all of my re-entries were that smooth…. More on that later. =)

   Ms. Clean: Yes. That is another launch pad on the left. Here is a wider perspective from last year:

   Any confirmation that it actually did beat mach 1? Win some lose some!

   whatanicepanorama!!!! ;-P

   did you frame it finally? Looks superb printed with a generous white border (I´d suggest no moulding, no glass –mounting the print just on canvas -they put a protective silicone over it for preservation-)

   ok ok, I worked in the walldecor business for years, can´t help it!!!

   Ben – no… and since it survived with its fins, I suspect not. I did not have room for a computer in there…

   Alieness: alas, not yet… encourage Victor to send it to me. =)

    ouch!….spanking promised but only now delivered as I stumble across this public harshness!! Let me think…it was a sent a long time ago I clearly recall, but now that I dwell on it… oh now I remember….I sent it to Gisela first because she did such a great job of retouching it… yup, guilty of a priorities violation perhaps… torn between two choices and now disatisfying all parties – my apologies to you both. If it makes you and Gi feel any better, my slowness irritates me far more than it does others. ;-(

    you crack me up. You’re not on my bad side… and I think spankings are just a sign of affection for the aliens. It’s the full probe you want to avoid.

    No, J, spanks are not a sign of affection for us -except for some dominatrix alienesses-, but for sure I was kidding here. Seemed to have been taken seriously tho. I should have added a disclaimer: "No real spanking was intended to be delivered in the making of this flickr comment".

    I would send you the print, J, yet I may have to dismount it from a canvas. In all honesty I think that printing out the file down there at your town would be better.

    Thanks Victor for editing your comment.
