Super shot, Jack. Very cool. Fun to see the trucks & bus which help us realize how absolutely huge this is.
Paul Milholland08-Nov-2010 03:39
Those tiny trucks certainly give a sense of scale.

Great report

Nice work. Did you need a special pass to get this close?

Wow, great job!!! I can't even imagine how you got the shutter speed you did. You sure the shuttle is there, I don't see it. LOL

Yeah what Greg said - it's HUGE! I didn't know it had such a rusty color. I kinda like it.
