  1. How? How did you her this shot? Great one by the way!

  2. is that fog with the shuttle on the ground or a photoshop?

  3. If the shuttle was on the ground it would be mated with the launch pad/transporter.   This has to have been from a chase plane.

  4. Sorry, folks, it's a fake:

    If it were from a chase plane, the shuttle would have been tilted over by that point.  Turns out that it is a photoshop according to +João Rita 's link.

  6. Ya know what's cool, though?  We all want it to be real.

  7. +Bryan May thanks!  one thing that looked funny to me was the lack of shock waves around the shuttle where it pierced the clouds.  Makes sense if it is a photoshop.
