Space Shuttle Time-Lapse

In honour of the final Space Shuttle Launch here is a great time lapse of the sequence of events leading up to and including the launch of the Shuttle.

After 30 years, the shuttle program, which began on April 12, 1981 with Colombia, has ended with the 135th mission on July 21 2011. Atlantis went aloft 33 times, logging over 125 million miles. The last shuttle will become a museum exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center



Here are some images from the final Shuttle launch and landing

Stunning NASA CASSINI MISSION Images Set To Nine Inch Nails

Cassini-Huygens is one of the most ambitious missions ever launched into space. Loaded with an array of powerful instruments and cameras, the spacecraft is capable of taking accurate measurements and detailed images in a variety of atmospheric conditions and light spectra.

Two elements comprise the spacecraft: The Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe. In 2004, Cassini-Huygens reached Saturn and its moons. There the spacecraft began orbiting the system in July 2004, beaming home valuable data that will help us understand the vast Saturnian region. Huygens entered the murky atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, and descended via parachute onto its surface.
