pipedreams Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day Atlas at Dawn August 9, 2019 This single, 251-second long exposure follows the early flight of an Atlas V rocket on August 8, streaking eastward toward the dawn from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, planet Earth. The launch of the United Launch Alliance rocket was at 6:13am local time. Sunrise was not until 6:48am, but the rocket's downrange plume at altitude is brightly lit by the Sun still just below the eastern horizon. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the possible exception of the cab temperature. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the case of railroads and cowboys plenty fell in love with the work... while for many more it was just a job, and not necessarily a pleasant one.

They kicked some serious ass with those things. The Russians did love that Airacobra. US couldn't do much with it but the Russians used the hell out of it.
