Shuttle launch STS-131 photos
As most of you know I spend quite a bit of time at NASA. With that said, the space shuttle launched on Monday morning for a trip to the space station to deliver supplies. This launch STS-131 was the 38th mission into space. As always the launch is spectacular and launch pictures are always nice to view.
The web site spaceflightnow.com has some good pictures of this launch.
