Atlantis Sunset - 6965

~Honorable Mention Aviation Week and Space Tech 2006 Photo contest~

Atlantis STS-115 returns to Pad B. The return to the VAB was aborted
when an updated weather forecast from the National Hurricane Center
gave Nasa the confidence to ride tropical storm Ernesto out at the launch pad.

Naw... don't crop the water tower, why ? Because it is an essential part of the shuttle lift-off. Can you imagine the state of the things ... under the shuttle as it lifts off if there wouldn't be the water tower to drop... zillions of gallons of water under it ?
This photo shows everything that is needed for a lift-off.
Cheers
