After 86,331 Orbits, Mir Space
Station's
15 Years In Space (Feb 19, 1986 - Mar 23, 2001)

This is the "Liberty Bell
7" Mercury capsule that sank
out from under Virgil "Gus" Grissom at the end
of his
flight on July 21, 1961. It was recovered from the
ocean floor in the summer of 1999.
This is a picture of a huge thunderhead
over the
southern California desert. I took this from my deck on
Aug 17, 2004. It reminds me of a "mothership"
from
the movie "Independence Day"
