Shuttle Discovery launch (NASA Images: More desktop wallpaper from the space program)

Thanks, Mark.

But you KNOW what's coming, don't you? All those vertical images...

Much better images than the last few posts. Thanks.

Thanks for providing usable-sized images this time.

Excellent pictures

"Last week's NASA-based desktop wallpaper gallery was so popular we thought you would like to see more examples of the kind of images available for free from the NASA website."

Link to the NASA page with these please! My son is on a HUGE rocket kick, every day he demands to watch a zillion videos of launches and he's dressing as an astronaut for Halloween...

Exquisite...absolutely exquisite.

I had as wallpaper views of deeper space. What is admirable and inspiring is "How we are getting there and discovering".

Three cheerts to the great scientists, technologies and the team of contributors.

Awesome pictures and Great History of NASA. Please keep them coming.

Brilliant, really really

ARES 1_X Test Flight occurred on June 4, 2010. Not in 2009

How sad USA has become, when we once led the world in these adventures,and now even behind in high speed trains, science not number one in most schools, sports more important. As "old guy" was there during first "man in space" shots, remember the pride, how kids all wanted to "Build rockets and stuff", But today we often leave scientific adventures/programs to other nations.
Yea to slightly paraphrase of past and our current reality. "Houston and all, we REALLY do have a problem". Billions on special interest boondoggle, but little on leading the world in sciences.

the crew escape mechanism for Gemini-Titan? I see no escape tower.

Nice Images

NASA-based desktop wallpaper gallery is Cool, every one of these but one took place in me life time, and most of them while i was growing up as a Air Force Brat.
