That is really cool - I liked the other terrestrial-based pictures in that album as well. I'm intrigued by space stuff in general.

Cool stuff there. I wanted so bad to join the Air Force and become a pilot/astronaut but my eyes dont see color good enough. So I was stuck on the ground getting shot at.
