Space Shuttle - Lift-Off

End of an era - my Space Shuttle Tribute !
*****
The final flight of a Space Shuttle, planned for July 8th 2011 - the "Atlantis" !

We won't forget the sad losses:
The seven brave Astronauts from the 'Challenger' shuttle desaster on January 28. 1986
The seven brave Astronauts from the 'Columbia' shuttle desaster on February 1. 2003

An important space flight era ends - the successful 'Space Shuttle' Orbiter and it's crews !
*****
This is the second in a pack of four 3D images to honor the Space Shuttle and it's crews ...
