Not to mention the huge price tag of the journey. Roughly around $10 million if I remember correctly.

Talk about a rare sight! I think if that was landing on a landing strip while I was driving down the interstate, I'd cause a wreck behind me because I'd lock my breaks up to see it. :-)

I love the moon in the background. I wonder where they were going ;-). A quick note, almost every background I've liked that I've seen today has been by you. Nice job!
