SpaceX CRS-11 Falcon9
Remote/pad camera setup was scheduled very early this (Thursday, June 1) morning. When we arrived at the LC-39A, the #SpaceX #CRS11 #Falcon9 was still horizontal (I was going to try to weave in a "laying down on the job" or "still sleeping" joke here). Although not preferred for framing the remote shot, the horizontal rocket did allow for a cool photo angle.
This is a merge (a panorama, technically) of 3 tight shots of the rocket and payload, a "flight proven" Dragon capsule that was originally flown on the CRS-4 mission. You can see people working on the rocket (or maybe the payload), providing some scale, and also the view of the base (including the clamps that hold the rocket in place) is quite amazing.
And to tie the shot together, there are porta-potties in the foreground.
