Spacecraft Launch Photos: Portrait

These are landscape grabs of excellent photos by Ben Cooper, from http://launchphotography.com.   For internal (non-public) use only.

1. A Seriously Big Rocket Blast

Hope that dude had a huge zoom lens, or a robot took the picture, or something.

2. Another Seriously Huge Rocket Blast

This time, in the daytime. Notice, there are no dogs chasing after the rocket.

3. Rocket Proving a Point

Nothing else can be said.

4. Propulsion

Without propulsion, no matter would ever escape the gravity well of Earth, to reach Space.
