Better late than never - My images from the final launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery a few weeks ago- We watched from a causeway south of launch pad 39a about 25km away. So stoked to be able to be there.....

Got the beers!

Here we go!

Traffic trying to get out afterwards- Traffic was baaaad. The launch was one of the most watched since the original shuttle launches

Luckily we had these guys!

Just watched the article on the News about it, will be sad to see it go.

Im jealous...I will probably wil never see a Shuttle launch ..actually make that never will unless I win Lotto in the next few weeks. Quite a different view from those pics - looks like its been launched out of the water..and man that traffic!

Wow look at all those cars!

Thanks for the pics. This is as close as I will get to a launch as well. I wish very much I was there. Humans being shot into space is something truly incredible really. I mean we were still earth bound not that long ago. It would be great to see. Congrats on making it there.
