   The SpaceX pad, zooming in
   

   On May 22, the Dragon spacecraft will hopefully deliver cargo to the ISS, and return safely to Earth. Here is a wonderful launch shot from flight one.

   And here’s the next photo page from the Pad 39A tour, a digest of all of my KSC photos, and videos of: Pad 39A, the final days of Discovery in the VAB, my "EVA" from the payload bay of Endeavour.

   the Space X pad looks so much smaller in every way.

   The launch tower itself is not permanently erect; they raise it with rocket at the time of launch.

   Because I am not one hundred percent sure I have sent the HDR in the way it had to, I am just here to tell you the first one is done and gone in your boxbe mail. Please notefy me if you received it.

   I greatly enjoyed your exploration of the Discovery. What an incredible experience you had, and thanks for sharing it on Flickr.

   Nice way to top it off.

   That is inded quite a great adventure! I am happy for you, Steve, to have had this wonderful experience!

   Draining of her fluids sounds like what one does to a corpse. You surely felt that this was what happened. A sad demise which one hopes will open the sky to new adventures. At least, the space shuttle will now make children dream the possible dreams we know they can have.

    P.S. David just gave me permission to share the first sneak peek of his forthcoming movie (notice that the other two people on this KSC tour were filming 3D and I was the old school 2D non-moving pictures guy). I saw it in 3D at the Sony studios…. and yeah, rockets were meant to be 3D. =)
