I've added an interesting photo of the Titan
launch site that was taken from ISS a few weeks
back. It is a small part of the image made
that showed Discovery in mid-rollout.

"www.geocities.com/launchreport/weblog.html"

There is quite a contrast in the image between
the far-flung Titan launch site and the newer
EELV pads.

Those interested might want to read the story
at spaceflightnow.com that discusses the several
hundred job losses that will follow tonight's
(4/29/05) final Cape Canaveral Titan IVB launch.
