Yay!!!!!!! And it's a yellow on too. I love these pictures!!

great pics.

Side rant: Why the hell woudl they stop yellow? Seems like one of the more popular colors (more so than white!). They should bring back the bumble bee for 2010! I do appreciate some color changes they made (aka, the new red being non-metalic, aka $230 more left in my pocket), but getting rid of yellow was just stupid.

Now as my new wallpaper!

AWESOME PICS! He is a lucky person. Go NASA!

Makes an awesome wallpaper! Wish the car was blue/silver LOL

Toured the cape a few times. In the Apollo days they'd actually take tours INSIDE the VAB. Not so any longer. I witnessed the last three Moon launches, and one Shuttle launch. Gotta love it.

Thanks Ken, you are right, very few get the chance to pose their car with the Space Shuttle on the launch pad. The photos were taken on October 14th and it was a rare opportunity when we had both launch pads occupied by shuttles. I have another photo that shows pad B in the background with a shuttle sitting on it. That photo makes a great wallpaper. If I can figure out how to post photos on this site, I will display it for all to enjoy.

What's it like being a rocket scientist? Outstanding photos!

These are such great shots! Even Penske would probably not been able to get in there for something like that. Thanks for sharing.

I have worked for NASA since 1987 and it ranks up there as one of the most exciting jobs to have. Thanks to all that have provided positive responses to the photos. As you all know by now we have launched the Space Shuttle Endeavor to the ISS and it would have been nice to get some photos of the smart with the shuttle launching but it was a night launch and my photographer capabilities are limited. It was a beautiful launch and I will place a photo in the gallery for all to enjoy.

I am an owner of a Bumblebee! I loved your photos.! Wow, to have one of those pics would be great. Thanks for sharing.
