Space Shuttle time lapse - awe inspiring! - 07-12-2011, 08:55 PM


The following article is about Scott Andrews, a long time shuttle photographer. The article is facinating and talks about the different inventions he made in order to take unique photos of the Space Shuttle over the years.

The kicker is the video at the very bottom. It's a time lapse that he worked on for the last launch and it's unreal! Thankfully, his passion captured one of the most spectacular vehicals in human history in historical fashion...

Awesome! It's amazing how many people were involved in preparing the shuttle.
