An awesome shot of Discovery lifting off. I guess they'll be hard to come by from now on. Thanks Ben!

Bret, if you haven't done so already, please click the link above Ben's image to see other images. I had a really really hard time choosing which to post (and obviously, ended up with more than one because I couldn't pick just one!). The images are splendid.

A case where seeing 1 is awsome but if you saw 20 similar happenings simultaneously from the same vantage point you would probably need a change of clothes
