Glad you had a good trip and returned safely.

I bet the launch was something special to remember.

Cheers!

Ok Everyone!

I have finally put my FULL sized pics up online..
please note.. if u have dial up.. this may be a little slow.. and page 3/4 is the best to view.

http://photos.zethos.org/v/Rowenas-Photos/NASA/


On the top left hand corner of each pic, you can change the resoultion size, so u can get the full sized image!

I think my fave is the one sitting in the anti-gravity chair looking like there must be something more exciting about to happen?
