Sometimes you trust someone who turns out not to be honest. There are a lot of things that happen in life that don't turn out the way you're given the impression that they will. And I think that's all kind of a con. But I think we've probably all been hurt.

"Acknowledge yourself for how far you have come, instead of how far you think you have to go." I'm always happy to see you at My Gallery. I appreciate all of you. Thanks, Anita
Great post Phil...I watched the whole live launch on the NASA site right up to 10 minutes after launch as the crew got out the camera and watched the main booster float away from the shuttle. Those birds had been flying around in the excitement...they must keep them clear of the launch area though? Propane canons? Didn't sound like they had too many glitches except some unexpected icing. The ISS is going to be so bright now with the new panel.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.

That is amazing now that I live here I want to see that in person some day I did here the last one land with the sonic boom that was cool... Looks like it would catch everything on fire.

Actually those billowing plumes of smoke is pretty much just water vapour. There's an acoustic pool set up below the launch pad that's flooded with water from that adjacent water tower to absorb the acoustic shock from the firing solid rocket boosters and shuttle's main engines...

There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.
