Default Space Pictures

The other day at work, I was talking with one of our patients and he told me that he used to work at Nasa in their photo department. He sent me a few pictures that he had worked on over the years and I knew some folks here would appreciate them.

I'll post the picture and a description that he sent me for each.

3-24-2011 - Endeavor last trip to pad



The first flight of Columbia in 1981:
Launch


Into orbit (note the chase planes)


Captain John Young on Mid Deck




On Edwards Lake Bed



4-7-2010 - Discovery close to ISS



"Earthlights" - this shot is a composite of formerly classified DoD satellites.


Houston at night



General Bob Stewart - He has no tether or other attachment to the shuttle. He is a human satellite.


Mars Rover photoed by orbiting satellite



He sent me several other powerpoint files, but they are too large to upload.

I wish I could find a way to upload and make these ppt. presentations viewable....there is one of them prepping a shuttle for launch that is really cool! Lots of close up pictures...

BTW, he also sent me a link to this. I believe it is something that his friend worked on:
Absolutely mindblowing video shot from the Space Shuttle during launch

Amazing HD video and sound of a shuttle launch. The camera is mounted to the booster and shows velocity of the booster and not the shuttle.

All you got to do is be a Texan to be a pain in the ass.
