BITTERSWEET LAUNCH ENDS SEVERAL CHAPTERS OF HISTORY
---------------------------------------------------
As the day dawned at Cape Canaveral this morning, another Delta 2 rocket
darted into the sky on a satellite deployment mission. But this successful
launch was remarkably different. Instead of bringing joy, there was deep
sadness from the finality bought by the flight.

Nice pictures!

A street corner view in this YouTube video. Some close-ups of a
telephone pole in mid-video, but pretty good overall.
