Shuttle Atlantis' last launch (STS 132). It was heading towards the International Space Station (ISS) on May 14th, 2010.
After observing this osprey's intense dive, it remained in this position quite some time, after surfacing. I began to think it broke a wing, since it seemed to be struggling to leave the water. The reason for the "stalled launch" follows in the next photograph.

Yesterday I went with my mother-in-law (who is an member of the WREN Association) to the launch of the sixth and latest Type 45 Destroyer purchased by the Navy HMS Duncan. Despite being born and brought up in Govan I don't think I had ever been to a ship launch, and as this may be last, it was great to go along and see. We were actually too close to get a good ship shot and the light and shadow made it difficult to get a balanced shot of crowd and ship. However, I did get some pics to remember the day by. There must have been abut 10,000 people in the shipyard.
We went to La Mesita Park to go launch a rocket. Carleton made sure Kevin didn't set himself on fire.

Movember's 2010 launch event and moustache-inspired art exhibition in Toronto at the Thrush Holmes Empire.
Ready to blast into the dark.. Just minutes before the Discovery's lift-off the International Space Station appeared up almost above the Cape Canaveral, headed North-East. The timing was near perfect for setting up a rendezvous at some time after Discovery would reach its orbit.
The #FAILBETTER launch party was a perspective-shifting exploration of the epic and inspirational failures that make up the exhibition, which features contributions from all walks of life, including famous explorers, inventors, scientists, and athletes. Guests were the first to see the exhibition, taste Michelin-starred chef Kevin Thornton's take on 'failed recipes', screen-print their own posters, and enjoy some of music's finest failures and one-hit wonders from DJ Anthony Remedy. Now it's time to use the F-word: share your take on failure with the tag #FAILBETTER. Visit sciencegallery.com/failbetter for more information. #FAILBETTER runs until 27th April 2014.
My first view, a little after 1 pm, with a scheduled 4:30 launch. It was a long day. No sliding down the ways, or one of those dramatic sideways launches. She will be lifted over by two giant cranes, of which more later, and deposited gently into the Kennebec River.
A complete absence of information about this photograph calls for speculation. It is clearly the launch of a fishing boat by a lady unnamed. Is it Gerrards' yard, and are the two gentleman the Gerrard Brothers, or are they the owners of the boat? Is the thing in the background that looks like a Viking battering ram in fact the keel of the next boat?
