A visitor from - posted Sun December 6, 2009: STS-107 was launched at 10:39 am, so no, this is not Columbia's last launch.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon September 7, 2009: Guys, this isn't STS-107 - it launched in 2003, this photo is dated as 2002. Unless somebody got the date wrong! Wonderful photo though, truly breathtaking!
A visitor from Greece posted Wed July 1, 2009: Just perfect !!! Love the light
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri March 14, 2008: If the date is correct this WAS STS-109, Columbia's penultimate mission, to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Fnatastic framing on this shot.
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 4, 2006: Such a beutiful shot, but so sad...just FYI though, the mission was STS-107.
A visitor from Singapore posted Thu April 20, 2006: That is way beter than seeing a sunrise a saterday morning.
A visitor from Canada posted Tue January 31, 2006: Its sad. You wish you could tell them all that they will never make it back.
A visitor from United States posted Thu January 5, 2006: This photo is the visual epitome of how beautiful a night launch can be. Having lived less than ten miles from the launch sites, I have seen a good number of launches, and the night ones were the most spectacular. This also photo captures the beauty that has been lost due to complacency.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun September 4, 2005: An ascension into heaven and beyond, fantastic image!
