Will It Fly?



On my recent trip to Florida we went out to the beach on the north side of the Kennedy Space Center (no we did not go to the far north end, it was far to cold for that.) In the process we passed within a couple of miles of the space shuttle launch pad. The shuttle is scheduled for launch on the 7th. For the first time in several years it is scheduled to be a night launch. The shuttle flies a bit like a penguin; even the paint scheme seems inspired by we wonderful “flightless waterfowl.”

    I first read the title and saw the picture of the penguin thinking - where is he going to hurl the poor little guy! ANd what type of setting on the camera to catch the action ;)

    I would think that there is more than enough power there to get you off the ground.
