Shuttle launch captured from Space, amazing
astronaut #1: " they launched"
astronaut #2:" yupeee, the new playboy magazines and more beer is on the way !!! " http://serv2.imagehigh.com/imgss/449...lelaunch01.jpg http://serv2.imagehigh.com/imgss/449...lelaunch02.jpg they are supposed to be taken from the ISS, would be a conicident to fly over Florida at the exact time (or perfect timing :wink:) or a very high flying airplane and some PS to show the dark,deep space LOL |
If you fly at 30,000 feet at day break you also see that dark band of night in the east - so you wouldn't even need photoshop to see that.
Remember there are all sorts of airborne support vehicles monitoring the launch - so it could be real. Is the ISS in such a low orbit? |
8) 8) 8) awesome pictures!

However, they can make quite some close pictures. One of the best I've seen is that one http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/...011e11260.html the ISS/Shuttle is just above central Switzerland, one can clearly see the lake of Zürich and the runways of Zürich airport :shock: Having had a second look, I would say it's taken form a plane |

Cool stuff.. never seen the launch from that perspective before.
|
I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that was taken from a space station. It looks a lot more like the view from a regular airplane flying at 10-12000 m. 300 km is a lot lot higher than that.
|
Whatever it was taken from...it´s an amazing pic!
|
beautiful pics thanks stmortizer ... 8)
the pictures are from some sort of airplane. |
Great link St Moritzer!!!! :good:
Would be awesome to see those things launch whilst you were up in the air like that! |

yeah the angle looks all wrong to be from outerspace. prob. a safety plane, after all the problems they have had.
