- ivanisavich, on 10/11/2007, -3/+61Yea this DEFINITELY wasn't on the frontpage yesterday...
It's okay though...ridiculously cool pic nonetheless :D - mpcamer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+32That would be so much fun.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+31i'm wasting my life
- DaveNASA, on 10/11/2007, -16/+39Old old old image, taken from NASASpaceflight.com.
This is not from the launch of the current mission, it's from 2006.
When will blog sites learn they can't just take images from media sites and create a false note on a blog site. - Maagic, on 10/11/2007, -3/+23LOL check out this pic of a cat hanging on a line... "Hang in there, baby!"
- trghpy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22Hey DaveNASA, where in the description does it say its current?
- vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18More info and links:

Isn't that the backbone of what the internet is built on? - EBFoxbat, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17@tomplansmedia
You are among friends here. We waste our lives together. - pyper, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15At least this posting is correct, I thought yesterdays post stating it was shot from the space station was wrong it just seemed to low an orbit for the station.
info on the aircraft
http://jsc-aircraft-ops.jsc.nasa.gov/wb57/history.html - toxicityj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11i wish there were a larger image so i could use it as a desktop background..
- nwvanport, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10hi-res photo
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/forum/forums/get-attachment-big.asp?action=view&attachmentid=17140 - Sifl, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11It's spelled: "Wii". eh, digg me down.
- ripple123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8FINALLY, someone posted it with a accurate title. Most of the previous times it has been posted round the net as being from the ISS.
- clickwir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Welcome to, at least, YESTERDAY!
- Ninnux, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I would love to see a video of the launch from this perspective.
- bs0l, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10See, yesterday this exact image was taken from the space station. This time it's a research aircraft.
Totally different. - tearor, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Have you seen that giant pig that kid killed?? :)
- Bender1010, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Agreed, I want wallpaper size!! Very nice pic though.
- whitec00, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Even if there was a malicious intent to crop out the date, we are not so stupid to think that 09 (whether it be 09=September or 09=Day) would even coorelate to the actual launch date of June 8, 2007. It might not have even been a crop, it could be FRAME NUMBER 9.
It is funny how the internet takes away the human factor when a picture like this is put up. What I see from this picture, regardless of its age, is that there is an enormous amount of human effort and an enormous amount of power required to make somethng look so simple and common as a launch into space. We humans are AWESOME.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-117
The shuttle crew returns on June, 21, 2007 at 1:52:00 PM. I pray for their safe return. - guv920, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wow, that's a lot of crap being blown into the atmosphere.
- heyitsgarrett, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
- schwit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+350 years ago Gary Powers in his U2 was probably at the same altitude seeing similar looking ***** coming up at him from SAM sites in Sverdlovsk.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3theres this dancing baby gif everyone is talking about
- lexluthor5, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I once saw the shuttle take off while I was in a commercial aircraft. We must have been about the same North/South as the launch bad and some amount of miles to the East.
It was timed almost perfectly. We though the pilot was joking when he said we'd see the launch in about 30 minutes, but he was not.
It looked amazing. Somewhat like the picture here. - Godlesswanderer, on 10/11/2007, -7/+10One year ago doesn't really qualify as "old old old".
Although I should have said it was from last year, rather than this years launch. - rspeed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4But it's going the wrong direction.
- nigrobrj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Just curious, but is the path curvy, just because of the rotation of the earth, or it's meant to fly that way?
- darkcooger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3http://jsc-aircraft-ops.jsc.nasa.gov/wb57/performance.html - "Well above 60,000 feet"
- 0crabby0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Here's a quote(near the bottom of the article)
http://jsc-aircraft-ops.jsc.nasa.gov/wb57/history.html
"NASA 926 and NASA 928 are the only two WB-57s still flying in the world today."
Maybe they(NASA) just updated a portion of the article and forgot to change the rest? - darkcooger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Apparently you didn't fully read that history link. :P
"When the 58th WRS high altitude program was cut in 1974, they also transferred NASA 926 to Houston. While this plane was out of service for some time due to budget considerations, it is still flying missions today, operating out of Ellington Field in Houston, Texas. More recently, NASA acquired another WB-57F, numbered NASA 928.
NASA 926 and NASA 928 are the only two WB-57s still flying in the world today."
So there are still two of them in service. - spudnic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Damn that plane can fly high, anyone know what sort of altitude that is?
- Braxo, on 10/11/2007, -7/+9I think it's pretty shady how the blogger cropped the date out of the image. Why the need to crop it in the first place I wonder?
- MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Here's a Mir, but no sign of the shuttle in question http://www.esa.int/images/mir_nz400.jpg
- SLIPSTR3AM, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I saw a digg article from this past December, closer to the date shown on the photo.
- Godlesswanderer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@ivanisavich
I hadn't been on digg for a good few days (router troubles and the like). If I had known I wouldn't have submitted it, nothing came up while I was submitting. Although, the fact that people dugg it would mean that there are some people that didn't see it yesterday. - eastbeast314, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2As awful as it would be a few minutes later, seeing a bunch of missiles crisscrossing through space would be an amazing sight.
- specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2This makes all those math and physics calculations look so easy!!!
- Camphlobactor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Dugg for not using the words AMAZING or EVER.
- rspeed, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6This is at least the THIRD time this image has made it to the home page (and the second time in a week). Unlike the previous two times I saw it, however, the poster didn't claim that the photo was taken from the ISS. Kudos for that, but I really have to bury it as duplicate.
- SailRacer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4Godlesswanderer- Old or not it's a very cool pic. Thanks for sharing.
- miles32, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1it looks like it, displaying them seems like it would put a huge load on the server
- chowdah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2NASA rocks
- kamel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Nested Comments?
- rspeed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The service ceiling (according to Wikipedia) of a B-57 is 45,100 feet. I'd guess that the WB-57 would outperform that.

Turn any shoes into height increase elevator shoes. - withoutashovel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1wow this makes you realize how big the earth really is. especially since the space shuttle is huge and its external tank hold around a million gallons.
