Talking Photos of recent Shuttle launch as seen from the

Below are some pictures sent to me earlier today by a very close friend who's brother works for Boeing at the Kennedy Space Center - NASA. The two photos were taken of the most recent shuttle launch as seen from the International Space Station. VERY cool stuff! Too bad I can't take the credit for them though.. Even with the lenses I use! =)

Amazing! I always wanted to see the view from there.
Thanks for sharing, Norm.

I also notice 1) the window is really clean ( either no rain & no dirt in outer space ---or it's one of their jobs to keep the windows clean)
and 2) the inside of the space station could use a paint job!
