Bob.J Loc: On The Move
 
These came to me from a friend that grew up in the "Space Coast" area. Her father worked for NASA
Here's the quote from the email

“These are way too good not to share – taken by the escorts for first Discovery, then Enterprise. It really broke my heart and brought me to tears as I watched Discovery leave Kennedy Space Center for the very last time. But also great anger, frustration and disappointment at those who allowed this to happen. Enjoy these beautiful pictures that I received from my friend, Francisco Miron, and have a Super & Safe Weekend!”

Hope you enjoy them

Great pictures! Best I've seen
You know it really kicks my ass that the USA has to rely on the Russians to get to the space station we started. What the hell is this country coming to?

Some great shots. Did the escorts have to get TSA's permission to get that close? :D

Bob,
Thank you for sharing. I agree with your friend. And his pictures are amazing. I really like the one with the 2 crafts on the runway.

Thank you so much. Those of us that watched the very first launches back in the 60's that was a thrill to see space evolution :-D
