Viewed from the Banana River Viewing Site at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery arcs through a cloud-brushed sky lighted by the trail of fire after launch on the STS-128 mission. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A was on time at 11:59 p.m. EDT. The STS-128 mission is the 30th International Space Station assembly flight and the 128th space shuttle flight.

Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.

This capture is quite unique in it's presentation Phil I love the arc as well as the different colors that are reflected near the arc at the space shuttle 'end'.

And i always believed space ships went right into the sky, but that really would be boring.

Great shot indeed.
