Space Shuttle Launch Above the Clouds
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Yesterday’s final launch of the space shuttle Endeavour was captured from many angles, but this shot from Stefanie Gordon from a commercial jet has captured the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of people. This perspective also makes me marvel at how well the traffic in our skies is managed.
And, if you don’t have an iPhone, you just may be able to justify purchasing one now (just in case).
