Riding a plume of flame, a Space Shuttle rumbles through Florida skies and heads for Earth orbit. This scene has become a common occurrence at the John F. Kennedy Space Center.
Anne and I wished to view this ation on our visit to the area, but our plans were foiled when the shuttle was delayed due to bad weather...somewhere! because the weather was fine when we visited. |
