I think this is the best view of the Shuttle I've ever seen...very instructive and just magnificent-makes you proud to be an American. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

Donna		10-Sep-2006 20:02
My husband and I saw the Atlantis take off yesterday. It is so awesome. I am new to photography, as well as a Floridian. I would love to take some night pictures of the shuttle. Do you have any suggestions on where to take them and the recommended camera settings?

Jiang Li		17-Aug-2006 06:02
Fantastic piece of journalism! Thank you!

Thanks for these brilliant pictures. Living in Port Elizabeth, South Africa I was not privileged to see this event live so have enjoyed the experience via tour pictures. Keep up the spectacular shots in the future. Regards Edgar

Rod, I can't thank you enough for this wonderful opportunity to see a bit more of the mission than usual. Your shot entitled STS 121 should be printed and mounted poster size. A wonderful gallery of quality shots. Larz

This is just awesome. It means a lot more when my family was there 2 months before launch and saw the path that it takes from the VAB to the launch pad.

I watched the shuttle with my husband and two sons from a pier in Cocoa Beach Fl. We had a fantastic view of our first shuttle launch. We are glad to have been able to wittness this successful and historical moment. Definately an experience that we will never forget.

awsome series of the this journey, I feel like I was there. you got some pretty good angles, do you work for NASA? I'm amazed at how close you must have been to the space shuttle to take some of the picture.

Wow, great shots, must be a real experience witnessing the take off

Jim Kramer		17-Jul-2006 20:12
This is such a great gallery. It won't be long before this will be a valued historic record of a time long past. It will be so sad to see this program put to bed. I was a Florida resident for a little less than 20 years, the first shuttle launch I saw live (unfortunately) was the launch of Challenger on her last mission. That is a day that will live with me forever, as it will for so many. I still remember how the vapor trails were still there at 5:00pm that day when I drove home from work... a sad reminder of the events of that morning. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful pictures, they are some of the best I have seen anywhere. -Jim

Ronald Gale Johnson		17-Jul-2006 17:39
Great gallery. What a superb effort by NASA and all involved. (I may be prejudiced because I worked on the SRB program for a few years in the beginning of the program.)

Carl Thilburg		16-Jul-2006 16:04
Now that I am Retired these Great picutures bring back so many memories of working on the Solid Rocket Booster Program.

Amazing gallery! GMV.

Travis Flynn		10-Jul-2006 12:56
Good job of finding many different shots at one event. To me, that is a big part of what separates a photographer from a casual shooter-- the ability to take many unique shots of the same thing. "All eyes are on Discovery" is brilliant-- a shot that any newspaper in the country would have loved to publish, I'm sure.

Guest		10-Jul-2006 03:48
amazing gallery! were you taking these pictures for a newspaper or anything?

Guest		10-Jul-2006 01:10
I enjoyed your Galleries Rod Quality work Best wishes from England Mike

Guest		10-Jul-2006 00:49
Great gallery. I've been watcching launches and spaceflight since Mercury. How can you not vote for this gallery. If it wasn't for the space program I wouldn'd be shooting digital and this country might not be free. Thanks
