Yeah it really is an excellent view. Im amazed they can get good video from a camera mounted on something travelling so fast, with little or no technical problems

Thanks, 3488.<br /><br />And as for everyone's commenting on the reporting, I agree too. But I'm doing my part. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> I'm a newswriter in NYC, and I always request the space/science stories. I've had enough writing about Paris' jailtime or the size of Britney's rear end. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

Took this pic of the launch from Space View Park in Titusville. We were just over 12 miles away according to Google Earth. Have to get closer sometime before the end of the program.... pic not too impressive though--juggling camera and binos..
Atlantis behind flag<br /><br />Anyone know where I can find a hi-res version of this amazing photo?
I've posted my launch photos as well (I see one was already posted hereby someone in the launch thread) 
<br /> <br />http://www.launchphotography.com/STS-117.html<br /><br />I was a stunning launch, the best daytime launch I have seen to date. Words cannot describe it sometimes. I am very happy that all those who were in attendance got to finally see one go on the first try...and a glorious one at that.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-Ben</p> </div>

Excellent pictures BPCooper, thanks for sharing them. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "<font color="#0000ff"><em>The choice is the Universe, or nothing</em> ... </font>" - H.G Wells </div>
'"ISS Guess" game '<br /><br />It started with Mike Lopez-Alegria. He would play movie music clips and the flight control teams had to guess. Suni Williams and the commander, Fyodor Yurchikin wanted to keep something going so they have the ISS guess where both a US movie and a Russian movie are played.
"Atlantis is on an 11-day mission to the International Space Station. "<br /><br />Probably 13 day...
wow thanks S_G for the massive amount of answers! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />At the moment, preparations for the docking with the ISS are going on, next is the TI burn, planned for 17h00 GMT.
Thanks shuttle_guy.<br /><br />We can learn a lot from you.<br /><br />Are you actively involved?????<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
