Yeah, I figured many of you would appreciate the simple beauty of it.. It's really amazing how beautiful something as simple as a space rocket lighting up the sky can be.. It really is.

Here is a nother picture that I found somewhat intriguing as well.

Looking at that pic makes me think 'the future is now'. Its just amazing. Can't wait for what lies ahead for technology.

Thanks for the pic, its awesome!

I try to watch every shuttle launch because I'm just amazed at the beauty of each one.

There's something about the power behind these machines that always gives me a chill when I see them reach for the stars. Thanks for posting the pic, that was one of the few launches I've missed since the start of the shuttle program.

Here's a pic I pulled from Google to add to the eye candy on this thread.

Wouldn't you love to have one of these seats to watch the ride to orbit.......

Anxiety, that is an awesome picture..

I hope I find the time to go watch a shuttle launch before it is to late. It must be an awesome experience to see and feel the ground rumble on launch.

cool pic.

I watched the night launch on HDNET...watching the shuttle take off in High Def is second only to being there.

Yeah,I imagine that it's like being at a ball game.. There is nothing lke being there.
